Families will be able to mark Burns Night with an evening of traditional music, Scottish food, dancing and fire-inspired outdoor entertainment at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.
The Burns Big Birthday Bash is scheduled for Saturday 23 January 2027 at the museum on Murdoch’s Lone, Alloway, Ayr. The event listing gives an admission price of £20 to £30 and says doors will open at 5.45pm. The programme begins at 6pm, with dinner due to be served at 6.30pm.
What will happen during the evening
Guests will arrive to the sound of bagpipes before taking part in Burns’ Address to the Haggis. A meal of haggis, neeps and tatties is included with the ticket, giving the event a traditional Burns Night focus.
After dinner, the McHart Ceilidh Band will lead visitors through a series of traditional dances. The event information says the dances will be explained step by step, so people do not need previous ceilidh experience to take part. It is intended to welcome both seasoned dancers and complete beginners.
The evening is due to finish outdoors with a striking fire installation inspired by the life and works of Robert Burns. The listing describes the celebration as family-friendly, although children must remain accompanied by an adult at all times.
Food, drinks and tickets
Tickets cost between £20 and £30 and include haggis, neeps and tatties. Anyone booking is asked to tell the organisers about dietary requirements. Drinks can be pre-ordered for collection when guests arrive, with pre-order forms due to be sent to ticket holders closer to the event date.
The listing states that refunds will only be offered if the event is cancelled. It does not provide an end time for the evening, so visitors may wish to check the event information before making arrangements for travel home.
