Supper with Burns
Show someone the power of stories with a taster of one of our events, our ever popular Supper with Burns.
A seasonal favourite! Join us for an alternative Burns Supper in the beautiful setting of the Storytelling Court, serving up a delicious 3-course Scottish dinner – with the centre piece Haggis – and a generous helping of Burns’ stories, song and lore. Hosted by storytellers David Campbell and Ruth Kirkpatrick, with clarsach player Katie Harrigan. Also featuring Daniel Allison’s wonderful rendition of Tam O’Shanter!
Book early to avoid disappointment!
Part of Scotland’s Winter Festivals.
