Big Burns Supper is Dumfries’ newest multi-disciplinary festival of contemporary performing arts, providing an annual platform for the most innovative music, theatre, visual arts, dance, live art, film, cabaret and children’s events.

More people than ever before will take part in their Burns Night Carnival which will take place at 5pm on Burns Night, featuring over 2,000 people from throughout Dumfries & Galloway.

They have still kept the Festival Fringe over the original three days, tucked away towards the end of the Festival – but their Greyfriars Church and Spiegeltent will run across the entire nine days. Each and every day you will get the chance to experience something quite magical in one of their participating venues from artists and companies from across the globe.

Artists booked to appear include

Black Grape, Treacherous Orchestra, The Beat, AnDa Union, Eddi Reader and Bay City Rollers starring Les McKeown
