Burns-inspired poetry gets an airing at the National Trust for Scotland’s Culzean Castle this coming weekend, as the annual Burns an’ a’ that festival is underway.
On Sunday 25 May, visitors are invited to bring a picnic, sit on the lawn in the beautiful surroundings of Culzean Castle and enjoy the readings of inspiring poems produced by the Makar Press, a group of Ayrshire poets following in the tradition of Burns.
Administrative Assistant Deidre Mackinnon says:
“It is very entertaining! In the past the visitors have been given a large list of topics from which to choose and the poets read their relevant poem on that subject. The poems range from very comical to poignant or evocative, the subjects are easy to relate to and there is something for everyone.”
The event lasts from 12:00pm till 2:00pm and standard park admission prices apply.
