Burns 2026
Celebrate Burns' birthday with family and friends, dance Scottish dances and sing well-known songs with the Minnow Ceilidh Band. All dances will be called and there'll be easy-to-follow circles for wee ones. A fun introduction to sociable dancing with live music and maybe some stories too.
If Burns is your bag, we've got a programme of unmissable activity Tue 20-Sun 25 January - don't miss Burns and Beyond 2026 at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
