One of the county's most entertaining and long-running events is under threat, according to organisers.

The Ironbridge Coracle Regatta normally sees contestants going under as they struggle to pilot the quirky circular boats across the River Severn - but its organisers are warning the event itself could have to finish.

The community event also includes food and stalls raising money to help preserve the heritage of the coracles. A spokesman said:"The regatta is an established community event in the Gorge. The £2,000 it costs us to put on the event every year is a big ask of such a small organisation. "Therefore, depending on the support that we receive, only then we will be able to decide if we can run the regatta this year and in the future."
