This 2026 Installation Dinner will be held at Drapers’ Hall on Monday 5 October 2026.
The Drapers’ Livery Hall is one of the finest grand rooms anywhere in London. The vast ceiling is adorned with scenes from Shakespeare’s plays ‘The Tempest’ and ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and around the walls is displayed some splendid silver. Marble-columned, galleried, gilded and hung with royal portraits, this is where members of the Royal Family and other heads of state have dined. No surprise then, that it regularly appears on television as Buckingham Palace.

This event is to celebrate the Installation of Sally Orton as Master, as well as Malcolm Bacchus as Senior Warden, and the Junior Warden.

After dinner, attendees will hear from Alderman Sir Charles Bowman JP FCA, who served as the 690th Lord Mayor of London. He joined Price Waterhouse in 1983 and qualified as a chartered accountant in 1986. He was a partner in Price Waterhouse and PwC from 1995 to 2020 and has been an adviser to the firm since then.
