Description
Join us at the Buccleuch & Queensberry Arms Hotel in Thornhill to celebrate Burns Night in style.
On Saturday 28th January, we're hosting a traditional Burns Supper with a BQA twist. Expect a mixture of Scottish heritage, local produce, poetry, wit, live music and outstanding food and drink as we celebrate the memory of Robert Burns.
What to expect:
6pm Guests arrive - our hosts will show you to the function room where welcome drinks and canapes will be served around the fire.
Our Master of Ceremonies and Piper will announce dinner with a reading of the Selkirk Grace before our staff serve the first of four courses. The menu has been carefully prepared by our head chef Reece Watkin and his team and will focus on the staples of a traditional Burns Supper, with their own twist. Our kitchen team take great pride in sourcing the very best of local, fresh and seasonal produce.
Enjoy the ultimate Burns Night event as we pipe in and address the ceremonial Haggis. After desserts and cheese courses have been served, our Master of Ceremonies will read the Immortal Memory.
We'll also be joined by the outstanding musical duo 'Smith and McClennan'. This multi-award winning pair have a host of successful albums under their belts, drawing influence from traditional folk, Americana and much more. With twin lead vocals and beautiful lyrics, this local pair will have the audience captivated. Find out more on their website https://smithandmcclennan.com/index.html

We will, of course, close the evening with a vote of thanks and Auld Lang Syne.

Our function room is located on the first floor and therefore, regrettably, may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Due to the age of the building, we do not have a lift.
Ticket price includes meal, welcome drinks, table wine and coffee/tea. Other refreshments are available to order from the bar and our staff will be happy to help.
