Before the charts, before the stadiums, before rockstars were even a thing, Scotland already had one. Rabbie Burns. Ayrshire's most notorious wordsmith, romantic menace and all-round rascal invites you to his Brewhemian birthday bash. And at a mere 267 years-of-age, you best believe he won't be celebrating quietly.
This is not your average Burns Night, oh no. There'll be no polite nodding through endless verses of Tam O'Shanter - this is Burns brought to life. Expect whisky flowing, haggis hunted with purpose, and Tam himself tempting fate (amongst other things) alongside Cutty Sark.
Think poetry with a pulse. Tradition with a wicked grin. A Burns Supper for those who prefer their culture loud, their celebrations late, and their nights ending with the distinct feeling they might be chased by witches.
Rabbie wouldn't have it any other way.
The night centres around a three-course celebration of Scottish classics, with Rabbie Burns himself guiding proceedings. Expect the rituals you know and love: the Address to the Haggis, moments of poetry and ceremony, and plenty of pageantry - all delivered with a Brewhemian twist.
From the first toast to the final flourish, the evening unfolds with storytelling, surprise appearances, and just enough mischief to remind you that Rabbie was never one for behaving quietly.
