An afternoon of Carols and Readings is set to take place at Broughton House in Kirkcudbright this Thursday. The event, hosted by The Friends of Broughton House and Garden, will begin at 2pm for a 2.30pm start. Attendees can enjoy a glass of non-alcoholic mulled wine and a mince pie. Tickets are priced at £8 for Friends and £10 for National Trust for Scotland (NTS) members or visitors.
The festive programme at Broughton House continues into January with An Evening with Burns on January 9. The event will feature Simon Lamb, the writer-in-residence at the Robert Burns Birthplace museum, and Leona Evans, a talented singer known for her renditions of Burns’ songs. Starting at 6.30pm for a 7pm commencement, the evening will include a glass of wine or a soft drink, with tickets costing £15 for Friends and £17 for NTS members and visitors. Booking in advance is necessary for both events, with reservations accepted via email at friendsofbroughtonhouse@gmail.com or by phone at 01557 330437.
Following the Carols and Readings event later this week, the community at Broughton House is looking forward to celebrating the works of Burns in the new year. With a mix of music, poetry, and festive cheer, these events promise to bring joy to all who attend.
