About

“Some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit!” The Exeter Caledonian Society invites you to celebrate the life of the great bard, Robert Burns, for an evening of drinking, reeling, and courting at The Exeter Castle. Burns was a man of great passion, with a roving eye and attention to a woman's details. His romantic view of the world and of women are attributes not commonly found in the average Scot (or Englishman for that matter). This unique blend of charm and sensitivity made him both a celebrated poet and an enduring symbol of passion and humanity; a symbol that calls for a celebration appropriately toasted with whiskey! Burns’ works also highlighted the importance of society caring for those in need – a principle that remains just as relevant today as it was during his time. Therefore, we are running a Charity Auction to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance; both of which are of significant importance to a number of our committee and members. Dress Code: Black Tie / Highland Dress - Those of you who own tartan are encouraged to wear it. Directly following the purchase of your ticket, you will be asked to fill out a dietary requirements form by Fixr. Please ensure you fill this out so that we can make any necessary catering adjustments for supper. In the days following the ticket sale, you will also be asked to fill out a preference form regarding seating arrangements (this will be shared on Instagram). We therefore do not encourage the reselling of tickets, as table-plans will not be able to be adjusted once they are confirmed. Timepiece entry is included in the ticket (please remember £5 cash if you wish to go upstairs). Sláinte Mhath!
