What is Burns Night London 2025 all about?

Burns Night London is a real highlight of the year. It’s a chance to celebrate the life of Scotland’s National Poet – Robert Burns –  in a way he would have wanted: eating, drinking, dancing and laughter.  Burns wrote some of the world’s most famous songs and poetry, including Auld Lang Syne, and we celebrate his birthday on the 25th of January, 1759.

So, how does the Ceilidh Club celebrate Burns Night London?

This year, we’ll be at the excellent St. Mary’s, Wyndham Place, Marylebone, W1H 1PQ. It’s a large venue with excellent facilities.

There’s a huge dance floor, a fantastic sound system and a fab eating space. 

Doors open at 6:00, and dancing is from 7:00 to 10:00. There are some great bars in the area to continue the party after 10:00. The live band and caller will lead you through the steps, so no experience is necessary.

What’s the Dress Code For Burns Night?

There is no particular dress code, and you’ll fit in with the complete Highland outfit, flowing ball gown, or jeans and trainers. People generally make more of an effort for Burns night. We appreciate Tartan, and you look good in it, too!
