Burns Night Celebration 2026!

Join Digby Stuart College as we celebrate one of the UK's most famous cultural events... Burns Night!
Burns Night is a traditional Scottish annual event to celebrate the life and works of Robert Burns - an 18th century Scottish poet whose works are still performed all over the world today. (You could say he's the Scottish equivalent of William Shakespeare!)
Burns Night is celebrated all over the world, and Digby Stuart are inviting YOU to come and experience it for yourself at our very own Roehampton Burns Night on Thursday 29th January from 6pm in the Digby Diner!
At this event you can...
- Eat a traditional Scottish meal including neeps, tatties, and the chance to try Scotland's most famous dish - haggis!
- Listen to some of Burns' poetry read by our very own Head of Campus Safety and Security (and proud Scotsman!) Barrie Stewart.
- Enjoy traditional Scottish music and try some highland dancing!
- Meet friends old and new within your college community!
Tickets are FREE! Be sure to grab your ticket quickly as they are strictly limited!
If you have any questions or queries, you can contact the College Team at digbystuart.college@roehampton.ac.uk
We can't wait to see you there! ??
