HIT the Bard - A Burns Supper Like No Other.

Join us on Thursday, 29th January 2026, at the beautiful Brig o’Doon House Hotel in Alloway for what promises to be the Burns Supper of the Year — a truly memorable evening of celebration, culture and Scottish hospitality.

Set in the heart of Burns Country, overlooking the iconic Tam O’Shanter’s Bridge, the evening will bring together friends and colleagues from across the industry to honour Scotland’s national poet in style.

Guests will enjoy an exceptional evening of fine food, top-class entertainment and warm hospitality. There will also be the opportunity to bid on a selection of exclusive fundraising prizes, with all proceeds supporting HIT Scotland’s scholarship programme — nurturing and developing the next generation of talent within Scotland’s hospitality industry, an industry close to Burns’ heart.

Celebrate the life, work, and legacy of The Bard, and be part of an unforgettable Burns experience.


Dress code: Black tie with a touch of tartan.
