Adult Museum Late: Burns Night

Celebrating the legacy of Robert Burns, Scottish Literary Hero, this special museum late event features a packed programme.

Immerse yourself in the atmospheric Whispering Wood with the wonderful Creation Theatre and enjoy dramatic poetry readings of Burns' poetry.

Create your very own Burns inspired poem with activities in the Magic Common Room.

Join the Ode to the Haggis, accompanied by Piper Richard Powell (Oxford Caledonian Pipes and Drums).

Get your Ceilidh on in the Woodshed with the brilliant Sunbird. A ceilidh is a party with lots of dancing! Expect top tunes on fiddle, mouthorgan and guitar, and perhaps a few on bagpipes, too! The caller will explain all the dances, and remind you of the steps as the music plays - so this is an ideal event to come to if you're new to ceilidh dancing. You can enjoy some of the classic Scottish dances like the Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant and Strip the Willow.

Tickets include exclusive all-evening entry to the Museum's Galleries, including the new Story Arcade gallery! The café will be serving small bites between 19:00-21:30 and the bar will be open until 22:00.

Please be aware that age ID will be required at the bar.
