Burns Night Supper
January 31, 2026 | A traditional Scottish celebration
Each January, we chase away the winter blues with bagpipes, poetry, and just enough haggis to say we did it. Britsburgh’s annual Burns Night Supper is our warm and witty tribute to Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns—and it’s a night to remember (even if the whisky tries to make you forget).
Expect:
- Bagpipes and the ceremonial piping in of the haggis—because of course.
- A traditional Burns Supper (yes, there’s haggis… but fear not, veggie options abound).
- Toasts, tales, and the rousing Address to a Haggis—delivered with the gusto it deserves.
- Lively music, spirited company, and a joyful celebration of Scottish heritage.
- And kilts? Let’s just say: tartan is always encouraged and frequently applauded.
This beloved event often features special guests and a silent auction—and it always sells out fast. Whether you’re a Burns aficionado or just here for the poetry and pudding, you’ll find yourself in good company.
