Expert tin bath racers from the Island will be showing the UK how it's done at a huge event next month.

The Castletown Ale Drinkers Society, which organises the annual world championships, has been invited to Chris Evans Carfest, at Bolesworth Estate in Cheshire.

A team of 10 Island bath racers will host an event on the estate's lake as part of the four-day festival.

Organiser David Collister says he's hoping to find some of the best off-Island competitors to compete at the Castletown championships:
