Celebrate Burns Night with Dales’ Award-Winning Haggis This January 25

Kirkby Lonsdale: Every January 25, folks around the world celebrate Burns Night, honoring Scotland’s beloved poet, Robert Burns. It’s a night filled with food, poetry, and music, all in his memory.

Burns is famous for capturing Scotland’s spirit in his poems and songs, like “Auld Lang Syne” and “Address to a Haggis.” This year is particularly exciting for Dales Traditional Butchers, as they’ve won the Argyll Golden Haggis Award for the second year in a row. They’re the first butchers outside of Scotland to snag this honor!

If you’re new to Burns Night or a seasoned pro, it’s all about enjoying good food and celebrating Scottish culture. The highlight is the Burns Supper, featuring haggis, neeps, and tatties. Haggis is a savory pudding made from oats and spices, and it’s a real treat.

The evening kicks off with a short prayer called the Selkirk Grace, followed by the dramatic “Address to a Haggis.” Guests toast the haggis with whisky, making the meal lively and fun. The night usually wraps up with singing Burns’s songs and some ceilidh dancing, bringing everyone together.

Dales Traditional Butchers in Kirkby Lonsdale is making waves this Burns Night. They’ve been named Argyll Golden Haggis Champions again, which is a big deal! This award recognizes the best haggis in the UK, and Dales has proven they’re the best of the best.
