The Alternative Night After Burns Night
Hangover Party
from their facebook page...
"Come celebrate the 250th birthbay o' the auld whoremaster himsel'. A very irreverent celebration of the life and works of Robert Burn, Scotland's national poet. Buckfast toasts & deep fried mars bars, as well as more traditional festivities like poetry readings and drinking whiskey. We'll be giving out prizes for composing Rabbie inspired rhymes, great readings and we will be actively encouraging shenanigans and high jinks by letting the whiskey flow."
8pm
at:
Grisly Pear
