The annual Scottish knees-up is a great excuse to dance away the January blues. Here’s how to celebrate in London
Burns Night always falls on January 25 (which is a Tuesday in 2022) and gives London the opportunity to celebrate Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, with lots of food, booze and partying. From ceilidhs and whisky tastings to indulgent Burns suppers, discover how you can enjoy Burns Night 2022 in the capital.
We’ll be updating this page with more events as they are announced.

If you’re well and truly committed to January hibernation or would rather be a bit cautious when it comes to social events because of the pandemic, why not order in some fine whisky and cheers to Burns from your home? Check out our pick of the best whisky delivery services.
If you're looking to really spoil yourself, book onto this Burns Night dinner at Fortnum and Mason – complete with wine and whisky from Lindores Abbey. You'll leave with a belly full of classic Scottish food including cullen skink, haggis, neeps and tatties, raspberry trifle, blue cheese, oatcakes and chutney. Sure, it might be a little on the spenny side, but it is for a very special someone's birthday. Seating is communal and pre-allocated.
From 7pm. £90 per person.
With streets like ‘Caledonian Road’ and buildings like ‘Great Scotland Yard’, it shouldn't be too surprising that London has its fair share of Scottish secrets. To celebrate Burns out in the fresh air, why not tour the city while learning about the capital’s most Scottish spots?
Before you head out, make sure you clue up on your Burns Night history. Have a read of Time Out’s mini rundown of the traditional celebration.
