We SO enjoyed ourselves in 2026 - we are going to do it again in 2027!
Saturday 24th January 2026 saw a wonderful Burns Night at Tysoe Village Hall and a time to enjoy Scottish traditions and celebrate the renowned poet Robert Burns with a classic combination of a sumptuous meal and a warming dram (or two).
The evening had a relaxed village atmosphere - more like having old friends around for dinner. After the welcome, the addresses and meal, we enjoyed the formalities of the toasts and then it was time for dancing! Renowned musicians the Cat's Whiskers serenaded us through two hours of Scottish Dancing, playing on violin, accordion and keyboard whilst their experienced caller Margaret had everyone up on the floor twirling to many dances. Some were more successful at keeping step than others...
On Saturday 23rd January 2027, we will once again gather the clans and listen, eat, drink and dance the night away.
Your evening will comprise:
