The Lord Mayor's Show

SOLD OUT! (waiting list open)

The Lord Mayor’s Show is the world’s oldest civic procession and the Guild is incredibly privileged to play a prominent role by escorting the giant statues of Gog and Magog, the ancient defenders of the City, under the watchful eye of our friends in the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers.

The day will begin with an early breakfast in the vestry of St Michael's Cornhill (8:30am sharp), after which members and guests will robe and make their way to the float for the procession, which will pause on the Embankment for some much needed libation around midday, before returning to the Guildhall where the giants are displayed. After this, there will be an opportunity to watch the end of the parade whilst we make our way back to the vestry to deposit robes before rounding off what is expected to be a superb day with a three-course hot buffet and drinks reception at the Little Ship Club by Southwark Bridge.

Tickets include breakfast, entry to the parade, a light lunch at Embankment, and a three-course hot buffet with wine after the show ends.

Places are limited owing to the unprecedented size of the procession and demand for tickets, so do please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. 

Guild members are welcome to bring prospective members as guests to this event, subject to availability. Names of prospective members must be provided during the checkout process. Bookings are open until Saturday 2nd November 2024, again subject to availability. Please note that refunds cannot be offered after this date. Booking fees are non-refundable to cover the Guild's administrative and processing costs.
