Bachelors’ Club

Robert Burns learned to dance and debate in this authentically restored house.

Planning your visit

To preserve the Bachelors’ Club’s character and integrity, we will shortly undertake a phased project that begins with rethatching the roof.

Bachelors’ Club will be closed to the public for the rest of the season as we embark on this crucial restoration project. We anticipate reopening in April 2025 and look forward to welcoming visitors back.



There are food and drink facilities in Tarbolton village or the nearby town of Ayr, and at Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.

Please see our drop-down Facilities below for helpful information about planning your visit.

Facilities & access

  • The ground floor is wheelchair accessible.
  • There’s limited access to the upper room (12 steps).

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.

We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.

There’s parking on the street close to the property.

Our online shop also sells a great range of products inspired by Scotland’s national bard! 100% of our profits go towards protecting Scotland’s heritage.
