Join KEMP for an 8-mile or 13.1 mile plod on Saturday 10th May 2025, along the beautiful River Severn. This year, you can choose to walk from Bewdley Brewery to Upper Arley or take on an extra challenge and walk from the brewery to the Ship Inn at Highley and help to raise funds for people dealing with incurable illness and bereavement.

THE ROUTE

The sponsored walking event begins at the iconic Bewdley Brewery before heading out along the River Severn – the longest river in Britain. Plodders will take on the River and Rail trail upstream to Upper Arley or Highley (if you fancy an extra challenge!), before heading back to the brewery for their annual Oktoberfest Celebrations.

All participants will receive a drink on their return and a congratulatory certificate to hang in pride of place at home.

HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

We ask that participating adults try to raise a minimum of £50 sponsorship each and that children simply raise as much as they can. However, there is no limit and EVERY PENNY COUNTS. Your fundraising will help to make a huge difference to people dealing with life-limiting illness and bereavement in the Wyre Forest area.
