Burns Night Celebrations, United Kingdom, 2026

Burns Night Celebrations

Get ready to raise your glass and swing your kilt — Burns Night 2025 is coming to Manchester with an unforgettable evening of ceilidh dancing, piping, poetry, and proper Scottish revelry!

We’re bringing the spirit of Robert Burns to life with a full-throttle night led by the sensational Ceilidh Tree, back by popular demand with their stomping fiddles, accordion flair, and expert caller to guide you through every reel, jig, and Strip the Willow.

Joining the festivities is our special guest, Inverness piper Ranald M Gibson, whose stirring bagpipes will set the tone for a night steeped in tradition.

Expect:

Ceilidh dancing with live music and easy-to-follow steps

Plenty of whisky and local ale flowing at the bar

Hearty helpings of haggis, neeps & tatties (available to pre-order) by the fabulous Beamish & McGlue

Burns poetry readings and traditional tributes

Prize for fluffiest sporran and coin-rolling madness

Mulled wine to keep you warm while you dance the night away

This is Manchester’s most raucous Burns Night bash, so don your tartan, lace up your brogues, and book early — it always sells out fast!
