Discover events in Dumfries & Galloway – South West Scotland
We are delighted to announce a brilliant set of events over the weekend of 20th and 21st July, to remember Robert Burns, who died in Dumfries on 21st July 1796.
We will be at 109 High Street on Saturday 20th, from 10-3 with music, poems, stories, pictures and fun stuff for all ages, brought together by our team. Free all day. We have an exhibition of painting and objects inspired by Burns’ poems and an illustrated timeline of the events he lived through. We are inviting people to try a calligraphy taster or write a few verses on any subject that Burns might have tackled if he was alive today. There will be a display of these on the day and possibly a pamphlet later!
We have 2 very special events running alongside our show.
On Saturday 20th, the Robert Burns Centre will show a moving documentary on Burns, featuring African American poet and writer, Maya Angelou.
On Sunday 21st, the Theatre Royal will show Mairi Sutherland’s film Red Rose, which tells the story of Burns’ years in Dumfries and the events which happened in this very theatre. Mairi will lead a Q&A session after the film and our guest soprano, Cheryl Anne Easton will sing.
Before the film, there will be an opportunity to join the Theatre Royal Burns Tour – for a small additional price. This is our special tribute to Robert Burns and the ideas he held dear.
You can book for Maya Angelou here: Tickets cost £5 https://rbcfilmtheatre.co.uk/all-listings/burns200724
