HAMDEN — The Hamden Inn and The Lost Bookshop team up to host the annual event honoring the Scottish poet

The Hamden Inn and The Lost Bookshop are hosting Robert Burns Night, a tradition more than 200 years old that celebrates the Scottish poet Robert Burns, on Sunday, January 25th, 2026.

Burns, known as the Ploughman Poet, was a farmer who wrote his poems in the voice of the common man. After his death in 1796, his friends began honoring his life and work with a dinner, which is still celebrated today.

Robert Burns Night at the Hamden Inn features a Scottish menu, complete with neeps and tatties, cock-a-leekie soup, and yes, haggis! There will be poems and pageantry, and wee drams of Scotch to boot.
