A long-established charity event, celebrating a Freeman’s ancient “right” to bring sheep to market over the Thames, toll free; all in aid of raising funds for The Woolmen Charity and The Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Read about all that’s on offer here: https://woolmensheepdrive.london/about/
Located on Queen Street and Queen Street Place, the magnificent Livery Fair offers visitors the opportunity to learn all about the Sheep Drive and the wonderful causes it supports and- where livery and specialist wool companies celebrate their trades with interactive displays and sales of their wares. Other fun activities include expert blade shearing displays and some wonderful rare breed sheep!
The Woolmen Sheep Drive & Livery Fair showcases the important enduring contribution of London’s livery companies, from the formation of the City of London in years gone by through to modern times, both in respect of the continuous evolution of sustainable trades and the important charitable endeavours in support of the various challenges we face today.
You can book tickets for yourself if you have the Freedom of the City of London and for any guests who would like to walk with you and sheep (just select yes or no when asked if the attendee has the Freedom of the City, and select Chartered Accountants as the Livery Company so everyone is grouped together.)
Alternatively any guests are welcome to come to watch as the centre of the bridge is open to the public as a spectator walkway.
