Burns Supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the bard Robert Burns, the author of many Scottish poems, including “Auld Lang Syne.” The suppers are normally held on or near the poet’s birthday, Jan. 25, known as Burns Night. The Scottish Parliament considers the celebration of Burns Night each year to be a key cultural heritage event.
The proceeds of this event will go toward the Antrim Grange Hall Rehabilitation Project.
