January 25 is a time for celebrating the work of one the most revered of poets, as well as paying tribute to one of the humblest of foodstuffs - the haggis so come join us to celebrate this special occasion of Robert Burns.

Burns Night history

The first gatherings to celebrate the life and works of Robert Burns were held by a group of his friends on the anniversary of his death on 21 July. In the early 1800s the first Burns Clubs were set up with Burns Night celebrations the focus of their year.

By 1885 there were 51 clubs and a central organisation, The Burns Federation, was set up. Nowadays Burns Night is on 25 January, the anniversary of his birth, and is a time to link people of all colours, creeds and nations in a common bond of friendship.

We have teamed up with The Didsbury to give you a truly great evening of Haggis, Whisky, Neeps and Tatties, poetry and song.
