Scottish sheep farmers will be treated to an evening of delicious food and celebration as NSA Scotland holds its Lamb for St Andrews' Day Dinner next month

Taking place on the evening of Friday 29th November at Hetland Hall, Carrutherstown, Dumfries DG1 4JX, the dinner will build upon the success of previous years' events bringing together members of the Scottish sheep industry to celebrate the patron saint's day with a delicious meal of home produced lamb.

This year's dinner promises to be another fantastic evening, with more than 100 sheep farmers and sector representatives expected to attend where Scotch lamb will of course be the showcase of the three-course meal, kindly donated by Scottish levy board QMS.

The meal will be preceded by a welcome from NSA Scotland Chairman, Peter Myles, followed by after dinner entertainment from Ken Fletcher, former editor of The Scottish Farmer, and his wife, Fiona.

Tickets to attend the enjoyable evening, priced at £40 plus VAT, are now available to purchase online via the NSA Scotland website or by contacting NSA Scotland Coordinator Grace Reid.

Grace comments: "We are very much looking forward to welcoming friends, old and new to the Lamb for St Andrew's Day Dinner this year. Last year was a fantastic evening of networking and celebration with delicious Scotch Lamb the centrepiece of the event, just as it should be. I would urge anyone considering joining us to book their tickets today as spaces will be limited. Last year's dinner was such a fantastic social occasion and we want to make sure 2024 continues upon previous success."

Doors will open from 7pm before guests will be invited to order drinks from the bar before promptly sitting down at 7.30pm. Following the meal, there will be tea, coffee, and shortbread whilst a raffle featuring a selection of top prizes is drawn alongside entertainment before networking continues.
