Barge East | Burns Night events

Thank you for celebrating with us

Burns at The Barge 2026 has now come to a close — and what a celebration it was.

Across three sold-out nights in January, we were proud to welcome guests aboard our historic barge in Hackney Wick to raise a glass to Scotland’s favourite bard, Robert Burns, with food, music and poetry in true Burns Night style.

From warming bowls of Cullen Skink to haggis with neeps & tatties, candlelit tables, live Scottish folk music and the traditional Address to a Haggis with a dram of whisky, these evenings were made special by the wonderful guests who joined us.

Thank you to everyone who dined, toasted, sang along and helped create the warm, lively atmosphere that Burns at The Barge is known for.

Looking ahead to Burns 2027

We’re delighted to confirm that Burns at The Barge will return in 2027 for FOUR NIGHTS.

More tables, more music, more poetry — and more chances to celebrate aboard our award-winning floating restaurant.

Dates and booking details will be announced later this year, with priority access for our mailing list.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard again soon.
