We have many visitors throughout the year and our staff are always happy to provide a guided tour of the building on request, free of charge. During the summer months we set aside three times for visitors who are interested in seeing more of the Globe Inn.

These times are: 10.30am, 3.00pm and 7.00pm. We will, of course, be happy to show visitors around who cannot make these times. You can discover more about the Globe and meet our ghost by taking our virtual tour ...

The Globe Inn lends itself to visits from groups and we would be delighted to accommodate any requests from interested parties. We would be happy to help organise any visit to Dumfries and the Globe Inn. Recent visitors include a party of 40 ramblers who visited Ellisland Farm and the town of Dumfries, finishing off their day with a tour of the Globe and a Burns lunch.

We have a large lounge which accommodates 70 people, also two small dining rooms for 12 each, and the Howff room which can take 18 people for lunch or dinner and larger parties for meetings or buffets. Menus, entertainment (e.g. Burns Suppers) and late licences can be arranged on request. Our friendly staff are happy to help with any other information you require to maximise the enjoyment of your visit.

The Globe Inn, with its central location makes the ideal meeting place for individuals, groups and clubs. Within 200 yards there are two large car parks and the Globe itself is just a short step from the margins of the High Street.

The Burns Howff Club have been meeting at the Globe Inn for 120 years and the Cornets Club since 1933. The Cornet is a young man from the town who is selected to lead the cavalcade of other horse mounted men and women to re-enact the riding of the boundaries of the Royal town of Dumfries (Guid Nychburris).

The week long pageant is called Guid Nychburris and on the third Saturday in June culminates in the carrying of the Laureated standard throughout the streets of Dumfries with the newly crowned Queen of the South.

Dumfries during that week, like many border towns is in party mode and so this is an ideal time to visit the Royal Burgh and absorb some of the atmosphere of this 800 year old tradition. The picture included here gives an indication of the cornet in action.
