Cilgerran’s annual coracle races take place in August on the Teifi, a river famous for coracle makers and paddlers. Small enough to be carried by one person and made of easily accessible materials, the coracle has been in use since the Bronze age, across the British Isles and beyond e.g. Iran, India, Norway. Celebrating the boat and maintaining the tradition, the races attract hordes of spectators. Raffle prizes reflect the locality: a large salmon and a minature coracle.
