Burns Supper
 Gallery
Registration closed, no more seats available.
A Burns Supper is a traditional evening celebrating the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759 – 1796). Burns Suppers have been in existence for over 200 years, and there are probably more taking place now than at any time in their history. They are a unique phenomenon: the celebration of the life and work of a poet by companies, societies, schools and families across the globe. No other poet is celebrated as Robert Burns is. He has over 1,000 clubs and societies dedicated to him; his books have been translated 3,000 times into more than 50 languages.
The Rhine-Main region began holding its traditional Burns Supper five years ago in Frankfurt, and in 2014, when Robert Burns would have turned 255, we are pleased to celebrate the famous Scottish bard's birthday once again. We would be delighted if you could join us.
We will provide you with a three-course supper including soup, haggis and dessert, as well as plenty of Scotch whisky. You can also expect bagpipes, Scottish dancing and recitations of well-loved Burns poems to keep you entertained.
We are very pleased that RBS and Scottish Development International have again agreed to be the principal sponsors for the event this year.
