A rousing chorus of 'Auld Lang Syne' at the end of the night is a must. Don't forget, Burns' Suppers can be contemporary too, so feel free to play more modern Scottish music.
Burns' Supper Poems and Toasts
Traditional recitals on the evening include the 'Selkirk Grace' and the 'Address to a Haggis'.
Other recitals on the evening include a speech commemorating Burns and a toast to the great man, known as the 'Immortal Memory', the 'Address to the Lassies' and of course 'The Reply from the Lassies', which are normally created especially for the evening.
Selkirk Grace
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be Thanket!
Burns' Supper Dress: Tartan
If you're hosting this event at home then literally anything goes, but it is definitely recommended that you wear at least a little bit of tartan! Whether it be a tartan hat, a tartan tie, or the full kilt get up, it's entirely up to you.
