Pontesbury Potter returns to its roots for 30th anniversary

Hill-walkers, hikers and fell-runners are being invited to a special anniversary event – the 30th edition of Severn Hospice’s Pontesbury Potter.

The much-loved community fundraising walk takes place on Saturday 21 March and supporters are being promised 13 miles across sweeping Shropshire scenery, rugged terrain, hilltop views and plenty of infamous Potter mud.

Inspired by the original 1996 route, the exact course remains a secret until the big day – perfect for anyone who loves a challenge in the great outdoors.

Lizzy Ellis, Event Fundraiser said: “Reaching 30 years of the Pontesbury Potter is a wonderful moment for us. Every person who’s ever taken part has supported our caring services. This year’s landmark is a chance to go back to our roots and we’re hoping we’ll inspire lots of previous participants as well as welcoming new Potterers.

“Fundraising challenges like this and our incredible supporters who take them on as well those who sponsor them help us continue to be there for local families from across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales living with incurable illness.

“We can’t wait to celebrate 30 years of community, compassion and care and to make it our biggest and most memorable yet!”

Entry is £25 per adult and £15 for accompanying children aged between 12 and 16 years.
