What's on in Craven Arms

Shropshire, England

Share:

Craven Arms sits snugly in Shropshire with a quiet charm that makes for a perfect weekend escape. The Secret Hill Discovery Centre has been hosting all sorts of activities for years, proving there is plenty to do without needing to travel far. Not bad for a town tucked away from the main road. Local groups often gather at the centre for workshops or family days out that keep things moving along nicely. Near Here pulls it all together so you aren't wasting time hunting for details online. It's the sort of place where a rainy afternoon turns into a proper plan with minimal effort.

Reccy Session 2 for Shropshire Way 80K

Reccy Session 2 for Shropshire Way 80K

*Fundraiser as part of the Shropshire Way 80K Festival These are led by Nickie and Jen, two of our volunteers. The aim is to show you the route, give you the confidence to use a map, compass and the route description to find your own way on the event day and to provide a view of the course. The sessions will be fun and informal guided walks and will give you the opportunity to meet some of your fellow competitors and share tips. Disclaimer: These sessions are not part of the SW80K Festival and are not covered by its public liability insurance. The volunteers act as guides only and do not assume the role of leaders and take no responsibility for your safety on route. Everyone taking part in these events does so at their own risk. Before you book: Each session will be paced to reflect the pace needed to complete the whole event within the prescribed time. The group will go at the pace of the slowest person, but everyone will need to be confident of keeping with this pace over rough, hilly ground. The cost of each session is £5.00 per person, which will be donated to the Discovery Centre’s charity work. To take part you must carry the following: Sufficient food and water as there are no refreshment stops on route. Clothing suitable for the conditions on the day Map, compass and written route description. This is to ensure you are learning the route rather than just following the group.
