Burns Night Dinner & Ceilidh Dance

After all the festivities of December, January can feel like a bit of a drag. But not so here at Imperial Hotel because each January we go back to our Scottish roots to celebrate Burns Night and it’s quite the occasion! This traditional Scottish celebration has been a mainstay of our events calendar here at Imperial Hotel for many years and we absolutely love it. And if you thought it was something that only those with Scottish origins celebrated then think again – absolutely everyone is welcome at our event – Scottish or not!

Burns Night features all sorts of traditions including the Celtic grace, bagpipes, a Toast to the Haggis (cooked very much the Imperial way, as Haggis isn't everyone's cup of tea), the Immortal Memory, a Toast to the Lassies, and the Lassies' response as well as a delicious Scottish themed four course meal, cooked with flair by our fabulous 2 AA Rosette Café Cru chefs. All this is followed by lively Scottish dancing to our live céilidh band. And don't worry about not knowing the steps, our céilidh caller will guide you through all the dances, from Stripping the Willow to all sorts of reels and jigs with ease. It's a superb night out, perfect for groups of friends or family members to enjoy together.

It’s all enormous fun and a wonderful way to see out January with friends old and new. Why not stayover with us too and make a break of it with one of our fantastic Burns Night packages.
