City Briefing 10 Sep 2026 – Livery Committee

The City Briefings are aimed particularly at new Liverymen and Freemen, with partners also being welcome. Court Assistants and longer-standing Liverymen who have not previously attended a Briefing are equally encouraged to take part.

Our next City Briefings will take place on:

Thursday 10 September 2026
Guildhall, 5.30pm – 7.00pm, followed by a networking reception

The Briefings introduce the work of the City of London Corporation, the role of the livery companies within the City, and the Freedom of the City. They also offer attendees the opportunity to ask questions of speakers and meet fellow Liverymen and Freemen during the reception.

We are delighted that Alderman Tim Hailes will be speaking at the September Briefing. Alderman Hailes made history in 2017 as the first openly LGBT person to serve as a Sheriff of the City of London and has since been supported by the Court of Aldermen to serve as the 698th Lord Mayor of London from November 2026.

Places are currently available, and bookings can be made via the Livery Committee website – see link above to book.
