The countdown to the most eagerly awaited event of the year has begun! Romsey Rugby Club proudly presents the 2024 Burns Night celebration, a night of Scottish tradition, entertainment, and fun as we host the event at our new home for the first time. We’re thrilled to have the generous support of our event sponsors, Parker Bullen and Anchor Maintenance, who make this event possible.

In the words of our esteemed club Chair (and proud Scot), John Gray:
“‘Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race’

This wonderful occasion which started from a small group of club members having a Burn’s supper has now grown into a fantastic annual Romsey Rugby club event. The last couple of years it has been enjoyed by many with great food and Scottish country dancing. I look forward to welcoming all and hearing some incredible renditions of Burns poetry (and some maybe not so great!) from all those who volunteer.”

Mark your calendars for Friday, January 26, 2024, from 18:00 to 23:00 at Romsey Rugby Club, Ganger Farm Sports Pavilion, Romsey, SO51 0EE.
