Robbie Burns Night

January 25 @ 6:00 PM 8:00 PM

The annual Robbie Burns Night is scheduled for Dolans this January.

Burns Night commemorates the birth anniversary of Robert Burns on January 25, 1759, and the traditional Burns supper celebrates his life and literary contributions. The origins of this event trace back to nine close friends of Burns, who gathered to mark the fifth anniversary of his passing. Recognised as the Bard of Scotland and the national poet, Robert Burns will be honoured in Limerick for the 21st consecutive year. 

The night promises entertainment, including a raffle and spot prizes. The Haggis, sourced from Pat O’Dohertys butchers in Enniskillen, Fermanagh, has a prestigious history, having been supplied to the G8 in Enniskillen and Harrods of London. Robert Burns, also known as Rabbie Burns, was a Scottish poet and lyricist born on January 25, 1759 and passed away on July 21, 1796. Widely acknowledged as the national poet of Scotland, he is celebrated globally. Burns is renowned for his work in the Scots language, though he also wrote in standard English. Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them.
