The 2027 dates that go first

Three dates in the Scottish year are fixed, and which weekday they land on decides how hard they are to book. Here is how 2027 falls.

Burns Night · 25 January 2027 · Monday

Falls on a Monday in 2027. Midweek takes the pressure off: the date is far easier to secure than it would be on a weekend, and often the nearest weekend is used for the celebration instead.

St Andrew's Day · 30 November 2027 · Tuesday

Falls on a Tuesday in 2027. Midweek takes the pressure off: the date is far easier to secure than it would be on a weekend, and often the nearest weekend is used for the celebration instead.

Hogmanay · 31 December 2027 · Friday

Falls on a Friday in 2027, which is the version of this date that books out first — a weekend Hogmanay is the most competitive night of the year.

Beyond those, the pattern is the same every year: Saturdays from May to September go earliest, the whole of December fills with corporate nights from about the spring, and midweek dates outside those windows stay available far longer than people expect.

Every Saturday in the 2027 wedding season

You cannot pick a date without knowing which ones are Saturdays, so here they are. These 22 dates between May and September 2027 are the most competitive in the calendar — if one of them is yours, check it early.

The 2027 festive Saturdays

November and December 2027 are the corporate season, and these 8 Saturdays carry most of it. Company nights out start being arranged in the spring, so by the autumn there is usually very little left.

• 6 Nov
• 13 Nov
• 20 Nov
• 27 Nov
• 4 Dec
• 11 Dec
• 18 Dec
• 25 Dec

Midweek and Sunday dates in 2027 are a different picture entirely — far more available, and often better value at the venue end too. If your plans are flexible, say so when you enquire.

Easter weekend 2027

Easter moves, which catches people out when they are planning a year or two ahead. In 2027 Good Friday is 26 March, Easter Saturday is 27 March and Easter Sunday is 28 March.

That four-day weekend is one of the most requested of the year and for a good reason: guests who have to travel can do it without taking leave, which lifts attendance noticeably. The Saturday is the competitive one. The Sunday is the quiet secret — a Sunday of a bank holiday weekend behaves like a Saturday for your guests and like a Sunday for availability and pricing, and it is consistently the best value date in the 2027 calendar.
