Traditional Burns Night to be held in Enfield

Enfield will play host to a traditional

Burns Night supper this year, in aid of the Mayor of Enfield’s Charity Appeal. Burns

Night celebrates the life and work of one of Britain's great poets and writer

of Auld Lang Syne, Robert Burns and brings Scottish culture to life.

On Saturday January 22 at Capel Manor

House, an exclusive event hosted by the Mayor of Enfield, Councillor Jayne

Buckland, will take place to mark the occasion. The evening will begin at

7.30pm with the traditional piping of the guests before the Mayor’s welcome and

the piping of the haggis. A traditional Scottish dinner will then be served, including

haggis on a bed of neeps and tatties, sautéed lamb noisettes with Capel Manor

vegetables and cranachan with raspberries and shortbread. After dinner the

traditional Toast to the Lassies and its response will be performed, along with

some of Burns’ poetry and a rendition of his most famous work, Auld Lang Syne.

Tickets cost £75 including all drinks and

wine and can be purchased from Mayor’s secretary Rhoda Aldridge on 020 8379 4119

or by emailing rhoda.aldridge@enfield.gov.uk.
