The Annual Banquet

Guild members and their personal guests are invited to the Annual Banquet 2024, which will be held at Saddlers' Hall by kind permission of the Master and Wardens of the Worshipful Company of Saddlers. This glittering evening is one of the highlights of the Guild's year and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fabulous hospitality of a City banquet.

The evening will start with a drinks reception while guests enjoy the ornate surroundings of Saddlers' Hall, followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner with wines, port, petits fours, and coffee. Afterwards, members and guests will decamp to a nearby venue to continue the festivities.

The dress code is black tie with livery badges and decorations, national dress, or mess dress for serving officers. Livery-affiliated members are encouraged to wear their livery badges and other decorations.
