Pitcher time!

Congratulations to Liverymen, Darran Yates, who was highly commended by the judges for his entry in the Farmers & Fletchers design a gin cocktail competition. Maybe we should add his creation to the menu for a future event!

We wonder if any budding bakers among you can take it a step further and claim the crown in the Farmers & Fletchers’ design a Signature Pie competition? 


Picture time!

Mayoral events

The Lord Mayor has written to all livery companies to update them on the upcoming events he is hosting. These include: concerts and music-oriented dinners, abseiling, golf, go karting and much more.

The first big event of the year is the Gala Concert by the LSO at St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday 14 March. On 3 May, the Mayor will be hosting an Ascot Race Day; expect an afternoon of sumptuous food and drink, thrilling races and fabulous hats!

If you wish to attend any, please contact the Clerk
