Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre
The Festival offers stunning courses which showcase the rugged beauty of this fascinating area, taking in Iron-Age hillforts, jagged peaks, ancient woodlands, upland heath and traditional market towns. Run as a fundraiser for Grow Cook Learn, the charity which has operated the Centre since 2014, the event is about supporting the charity’s mission to connect people to the food, history and landscape of the Shropshire Hills.
Grant Wilson, the Centre Manager and Event Organiser says “We’re super excited to be running the event again next year. We just love showing off our amazing hills and hearing all the positive comments from our runners and walkers who discover them for the first time. For me personally, it’s all about the food - we serve Shropshire Fidget pies, our famous Bara Brith and a local beef stew served in a barn, high up in the hills. This all gives the event a real taste of Shropshire and is the reason why people return year after year. If you want to challenge yourself and help raise some money for our Centre, why not enter one of our events- you have all winter to train!”
For anyone that would like to take part in any of the events, a link to the bookings page can be found on the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre website.
