Burns Night Brings Whisky, Wit and Community Spirit to Holiday Inn Oxford

Business leaders, guests and friends of B4 gathered at the Holiday Inn Oxford for another unforgettable Burns Night celebration, hosted with trademark warmth and humour by General Manager Gavin Webster and his team.

Now firmly established as a highlight of the local business calendar, the evening blended tradition, entertainment and connection — from the Address to the Haggis to a lively ceilidh that kept guests dancing late into the night.

Richard Rosser, CEO of B4, said:

“What a brilliant night, superbly hosted by Gavin Webster and his excellent team. Burns Night gets better every year and it’s mainly down to the wee man! He brings energy, entertainment and a limitless supply of whisky — which certainly makes for an interesting ceilidh dance. Thanks to everyone for coming.”

Guests were treated to exceptional food, generous hospitality and plenty of good-natured Anglo-Scottish banter, with special thanks given to Elsie Wallace and the wider Holiday Inn Oxford team for going above and beyond to deliver the event.

Reflecting on the evening, Elsie Wallace commented on the “buzzing atmosphere, brilliant people and sense of community that makes Burns Night at the Holiday Inn so special,” noting how events like this showcase the power of connection across Oxfordshire’s business community.

As the toasts flowed and glasses were raised, the evening perfectly embodied the spirit of Robert Burns — celebrating friendship, humour and togetherness — and once again set a vibrant tone for the year ahead.
