A popular Cannock venue will be hosting the biggest Scottish
party in the Midlands to celebrate the birthday of national poet
Robert Burns.
The Premier Suite, based above Bar Sport, in High Green, is
hosting a weekend of Scottish celebrations on January 28 and 29 to
celebrate Scotland's favourite son.
The celebrations start on Saturday January 28 with the annual
Midlands Biggest Burns Night Scottish Party.
The line-up of entertainment on Saturday evening includes
Scottish party based band party Celtica, a Rod Stewart tribute,
highland dancers who have travelled all the way from Stirling and a
traditional Scottish piper. A DJ will also be performing tracks
from all the great Scottish bands including Bay City Rollers, The
Proclaimers, Wet Wet Wet and Simple Minds.
The evening will include a Scottish themed meal complete with
haggis, neeps and tatties. Tickets for Saturday's party night are
£24.50 each. The event starts at 7.30pm.
The celebrations continue on Sunday January 29 with a Scottish
themed family Sunday lunch which includes a traditional Scottish
Ceilidh band, piper, highland dancers and children's magician.
Sunday lunch is £17.95 for adults and £5.95 for
children. Under 5's eat for free. The event starts at 12pm and goes
on until around 6pm.
Scott Murray, owner of The Premier Suite, said: "My grandfather
came to Cannock from Scotland in the 1960's. Scotland is very much
in my blood and I like to go back to my roots and enjoy everything
which is Scottish during Burns Weekend. This is our fifth Burns
Weekend and it is always superb. I believe it is the biggest in the
Midlands. Some people like to dress up in the traditional highland
regalia but Scottish dress is an option. The entertainment
throughout the weekend is brilliant and some of the performers
travel all the way down from Stirling. It should prove to be
another memorable weekend."
