The Ironbridge Gorge will be filled with dozens of peculiar boats as a one-of-a-kind regatta returns next week.
The Ironbridge Coracle Regatta will take place at the Ironbridge Rowing Club at the far end of Dale End park on Monday, August 29 this year.
Mary Lewis, chair of Ironbridge Coracle Trust, said:"We are delighted that the much-loved Ironbridge Coracle Regatta is back on this year."Fingers crossed for fine weather and we look forward to seeing you there." On the riverbank there will be fun for all the family with a mini festival including traditional side shows to keep everyone fed, watered and entertained.
Any adult who is brave enough to take a coracle out on the river can hire a coracle and have a supervised taster session from 11am.
