GUID NYCHBURRIS VISITS.

Each Year, during Guid Nychburris week, the Main Principals of the Festival make many visits to primary schools, old folk`s homes, libraries, hospitals etc. For many of those visited, particularly those less fortunate or in ill health, this is a highlight of their week and of course, the primary school children in particular look forward to it with great excitement. The schedule is always very tight, considering the Principals already have a full schedule of other duties to perform in the evenings.
