Join us for our second Burns Night event. Music, food and poetry will flow. Haggis for all!
Burns Night is known as a lively evening of festivities in Scotland. Our version is sure to be just as high spirited. The first Burns Night supper was held in Scotland in 1801. Since that time, new traditions have been added but the sentiment remains the same: to pay tribute to Scotland's national poet. In addition to food and drink from Scotland (try the Haggis!) traditional recitals on the evening include the 'Selkirk Grace' and the 'Address to a Haggis'. Other recitals on the evening include a speech commemorating Burns and a toast to the great man, known as the 'Immortal Memory', the 'Address to the Lassies' and of course 'The Reply from the Lassies', which are normally created especially for the evening.
