Feeling a bit too full of Christmas goodies? Or already thinking about a fresh challenge for the New Year?

The much-loved Pontesbury Potter is back for its 30th anniversary in March 2026, inviting walkers, hikers and fell-runners to take on 13 miles of Shropshire’s most stunning (and muddy!) scenery — all in support of Severn Hospice.

We’ve put together a full blog with everything you need to know about this special milestone event, what’s new for 2026, and how to get involved.
