- In this district, many customs are observed in a special manner, as they occur each year, one of them being the procession of the Wren Boys on St. Stephen's Day.
The procession consists of about six or seven grown-up boys and young men.

They carry with them musical instruments, which they play on their journey. Before they start on their journey they pick a furze bush, which they decorate, and on top of it they put a dead wren.
They go from house to house singing the wren song and playing the mouth-organs, melodeons, and fiddles. There is usually a good dancer in the party and he dances to the music, which the other members of the party play. The words of the wren song are:
