About this venue
Formed in 1924, The Burns Club was initiated to foster the culture and heritage of Scotland. In those early days the works of Famous Scottish poet Robert Burns were read by the members at ‘Burns Evenings’. The Canberra Burns Club in 2014 celebrated its 90th birthday. Formed in October 1924, it is Canberra’s first and longest serving Club. And having been in existence for 90 of Canberra’s 100 year history, it is perhaps also the longest functioning organisation in Canberra’s history. This is a remarkable achievement, and a testament to the many remarkable people who have for years tirelessly served the Club, its members, and the broader Canberra community.
