The Burryman’s Day parade sees a man walking through the town on the second Friday of August, covered from head to ankles in burrs – the seedheads of burdock plants. The Burryman’s procession is supposed to bring good luck to the townspeople, and features residents guiding him along the streets for up to nine hours with cries of “Hip hip hooray, it’s the Burryman’s Day”. This is my version of Burryman!
