Edinburgh Academical Club: Burns Supper 2027

You’re warmly invited to the Edinburgh Academical Club Burns Supper 2027 at The Edinburgh Academy!

As the winter evenings settle in, we’re bringing the EA community together yet again for a special evening celebrating Robert Burns and Scotland’s rich traditions. Expect great food, good company, plenty of laughter, and, of course, a toast or two to Burns himself!

We’d love for members of the EA community, old and new, to come along and enjoy the evening with fellow Academicals and friends. Last year’s supper was a truly memorable evening, and we can’t wait to do it all again, so please do spread the word and bring others along!

If you’re in Edinburgh this January, make an evening of it and come and celebrate with us. Bring along friends, family, or fellow Academicals and enjoy an evening of good food, conversation and Scottish tradition. Come along and share the evening with us - book your seat today!

Tickets: £55 per person
Your ticket includes a traditional three-course Burns Supper, a complimentary drink on arrival, and speeches from fellow Academicals. It promises to be a night to remember!

Tickets can be booked individually or in groups of up to 10. Tables seat 10 guests, so if you’d like to sit together as a full table, simply book 10 tickets. When booking for multiple guests, please provide dietary and accessibility requirements for each person. If you don’t have all the details at the time of booking, you can indicate on the form that it will follow.

Dress code: No formal dress code—though a splash of tartan is always welcome!

We’d be delighted to see you there for an evening of friendship, celebration, and plenty of Burns-style merriment.
