For the first time ever, Bury Hospice will be venturing on an epic adventure that sees us head long distance from Bury to Morocco.

Next year, between November 6 to November 11, you’ll have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to trek the infamous Sahara Desert – the world’s largest hot desert.

Last month we hosted the Bury Six Trek, a hiking challenge that saw participants venture throughout the Bury borough boundary to visit six amazing local landmarks, spanning approximately 11 hours in total.

The Sahara trek, in contrast, offers you an insight into a completely different landscape and terrain.

We are excited to welcome brave trekkers on this adventure where they will gain an understanding of the Berber way of life, taste traditional Berber cuisine, and camp under the expanse of the starry night sky.

The registration fee is £350, and raising £1,600 in funds will cover the cost of the Sahara trek, as well as provide a much needed donation to the hospice.

You can choose the ways in which to fundraise ahead of the trip – you might wish to host a Sahara Desert film night or throw a Brew for Bury tea party and invite all your family, friends and colleagues to attend.

There are so many fun and creative fundraising options to explore!

If you would like to take part in the Bury Hospice Sahara Trek, you are invited to join us for an information session where you can find out further details and ask any questions.

This desert adventure offers you the chance to experience the sights and sounds of Morocco in a truly unique way.

This really is a trek of a lifetime and we want you to be a part of it.

Find out more information about the Bury Hospice Sahara Trek 2025 at a one-hour information session on Monday, November 11 at the hospice, starting at 7pm.
