BURNS NIGHT CELEBRATION & CEILIDH
Following the successful Burns Night Celebration we held earlier in the year, we have decided to repeat it in January next year (2026). Join us for a traditional "Burns Night" Celebration with a fine feast and a "wee dram", all followed by an evening of entertainment, toasts, speeches and Ceilidh Dancing. We will enjoy a three course meal, washed down by a "wee dram" (see menu below).
Then, it will be up on the dance floor with music from The Gallimaufry Ceilidh Band. Their caller will lead us into The Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Strip the Willow, Eightsome Reel and many more Scottish favourites. Places are limited so if you wish to go don't leave it too long. If you are up for it - you are in for a great night out.
