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 2026 and invitations have this week gone out to potential participants.

Supporters are being promised ’13 miles of meaning’ across sweeping Shropshire scenery, rugged terrain, hilltop views and plenty of infamous Potter mud. The 30th anniversary Potter takes inspiration from the original 1996 event, although precise route details remain secret until the day, as per tradition.

Since the first Potter in 1996, thousands of walkers and runners have raised vital funds for Severn Hospice, helping the charity provide free care and support to families across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales living with incurable illness.

Participants will receive a certificate and unique Potter pot and new for 2026, fundraisers will also get a wooden coaster for raising over £50 and a beanie for reaching £150 or more.

Supporters can also mark the occasion with a 30th anniversary T-shirt, available to order when registering.

With limited places and high demand for this landmark year, supporters are encouraged to register early. Entry is £25 per adult and £15 for accompanying children aged between 12 and 16 years. To sign up or find out more, visit severnhospice.org.uk.
