The River Severn in Shrewsbury will be filled with thrills and spills as the Coracle World Championships returns this September!
The event will see teams of four paddle a traditional coracle boat in a relay race across the river, with the winners being crowned world champions.
Coracles were originally designed for fishing in Wales and other countries - and for retrieving footballs kicked out of the old Gay Meadow football ground and into the River Severn!
