Burns Night Celebrations - 23 January 2026

Join your Students' Association for an unforgettable Burns Night, a cherished Scottish tradition honouring Robert Burns, Scotland's most-loved poet.

 

On 23 January, your SA will be hosting a traditional Burns celebration, including a supper of haggis*, neeps, and tatties**, served in true ceremonial style, with a formal Address to the Haggis by a Chieftain of a Scottish Clan, before being served for all to enjoy.

 

After supper, the celebrations will continue with a traditional ceilidh — a lively and welcoming Scottish dance that everyone can enjoy - even if you have never danced a ceilidh before!***

 

Tickets are only £5 and available from the Students' Association website.

 

* We have it on good authority that a vegan option is available.

** Mashed turnips and potatoes, for our international readers.

*** Fancy a practice beforehand? Weekly dance sessions run every Tuesday during term time from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm in Room 1009.
