Big Burns Night

Join us for a night to remember as we celebrate Robert Burns at Theatre at The Mill on Thursday 26 January, 7.45-8.30pm. In partnership with the Ulster-Scots Agency, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council presents a celebration of this much-loved poet and lyricist, as we welcome Scotland’s leading Robert Burns performer, Christopher Tait to the stage. So, if you’ve ever imagined watching Robert Burns live, now you can, with tickets free of charge.

For over 28 years he has been delighting audiences throughout the world - from Seattle, Toronto and Boston to Helsinki, Dubai and Singapore. He has shared a stage with the great Scottish comedian and actor, Ronnie Corbett, performed on a yacht in the middle of Lake Washington and led the Tartan Day parade in New York.

Christopher is a regular visitor to Ulster, performing at schools and colleges and at the Linen Hall Library in Belfast. He has appeared with the Ulster Orchestra at the Ulster Hall and Waterfront Hall and his one man play, 'Robert Burns Live' was filmed and televised in Northern Ireland in 2017.

So why not join us as we ‘pipe in’ the haggis and enjoy poetry and stories from the mind of Scotland’s great cultural titans followed by complimentary Burns Night-themed food (vegetarian alternative available).

Tickets are available at antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk/burnsnight and are free of charge.
