Join Club Vivanova and the British Association of Monaco (BAM) for a celebration marking the life and work and the anniversary of the birth of Robbie Burns in 1759. The first Burns supper was held in July 1801 when nine of Burns’ close friends got together to mark the fifth anniversary of their friend’s death.
Celebrating Robbie Burns
In traditional style, we will begin with the Selkirk Grace. Guests will then enjoy a hearty feast with a starter of Scottish smoked salmon. Our MacSween Haggis will be *piped in, with a performance of Address to a Haggis, to be served with neeps and tatties, and toasted with drams of Aberfeldy 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. There will be regular and vegetarian options for the haggis (guests will be emailed after ticket process in regard to preference).
We will host a raffle during the event to raise funds for BAM's charitable causes, followed by a Chocolate Gateaux dessert, after which the Immortal Memory by Burns will be recited followed by a Toast to the Lassies, then a Reply to the Toast to the Lassies, before the final Burns recital is performed. To end this special night, everyone *standing will join in to Auld Lang Syne.
A wine aperitif will be served from 12.30pm, with supper and presentations starting at 1pm; international white and red wines will be served through out the meal, with mineral waters and finishing with coffee and Scottish shortcake. Dress code is black tie / kilt and a touch of tartan for ladies (optional).
*Note that the event programme may be adjusted due to COVID regulations (to be announced if applicable).
Until further notice, attendees must be Monaco residents, nationals, employees, hotel guests or have a professional attestation to show they are attending for legitimate business purposes (to be approved by Club Vivanova).
