On Thursday 22 January 2026, Grey College community will come together to celebrate Burns Night and the very best of Scottish culture at our Burns Night Formal!
Each year people in Scotland and around the globe celebrate the life, works and legacy of one of their greatest storytellers - Robert Burns. The first Burns supper is thought to have taken place over 200 years ago in 1801, where friends of the late poet came together to raise a toast to his influential and entertaining poetry and writing.
Join us for a fantastic evening celebrating all the Burns Night traditions, such as pipping in the haggis, addressing the haggis and of course a Burns poem or two! The dinner will be followed by a traditional ceilidh in the JCR and Scottish shortbread in the bar.
