The Society has received a request for any interested parties to offer coracle building demonstrations and have a go sessions at this year's Three Counties Show on 15-17 June 2018. For more information or to express an interest please contact Euan Raffel

Efforts to preserve the last coracle shed in England and celebrate the history of coracle making in the Ironbridge Gorge are set to benefit from National Lottery support. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the project is set to benefit from an initial grant* of £76,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to help the Ironbridge Coracle Trust progress their plans to apply for a full grant at a later date.

We have been invited to take part in this year's Festival of Archaeology in Salisbury. The dates are 21-22 July.

Anyone interested in taking part on behalf of The Coracle Society should contact Katy at Salisbury Museum - email [email protected] or phone 01722 820540
