River Walk and Drinks

Lambeth Bridge

Enjoy an evening walk along the river ending at a pub! Meeting at 5.15pm, the group will set off along the Thames Path between Lambeth Bridge and Tower Bridge. Taking in the sights (and answering some quiz questions!) the walk will be approximately 3 miles, and take an hour and a half.     You are welcome to do the whole walk, join the walk at a point along the way, or just meet up at the pub! There is no charge for the walk, but everyone is responsible for their own drinks and food costs. Please email Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org to reserve your place and confirm where you plan to join the walk. The whole walk will be along the South side of the river so it will be simple to join part way. If it is raining, there will still be the option to meet at the pub from 5.15pm. Meet on the South Side of Lambeth Bridge at 5.15pm Or at the Dean Swift Pub, 10 Gainsford Street, London, SE1 2NE The finish time is flexible!

The Livery Treasures Talk and Supper – CANCELLED

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Your chance to see the Livery Treasures up close!  Speaker – Michael Fowle assisted by our Beadle Simon Barraclough During our Company’s comparatively short life to date we have been fortunate in building up a significant collection of silver and other treasures, thanks to the generosity of many Past Masters, other Members and friends. Much of it is used at our Dinners. Michael will tell us about their history, what the motifs mean and their symbolic use. One of our earliest gifts is the Company’s Mace, the head of which is detached and placed before the Master at dinner. Michael is now entrusted with looking after our Treasures including amongst other things keeping an inventory, inspecting them regularly and valuing them for insurance purposes! This promises to be a fascinating talk and during the evening you will have the chance to hold some of the treasures under the watchful eye of our Beadle! Tickets: £75 to include a two-course meal with coffee, a glass of wine and soft drinks Location: Chartered Accountants Hall, One Moorgate Place Please book below or contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org

Richard III – The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre , United Kingdom

Meet Richard: the man, the myth, the monster. A new production of Shakespeare’s Richard III unfolds in the Globe Theatre this summer, with Artistic Director Michelle Terry in the title role. Richard can taste the throne, but before he can place the English crown on his own head, he must first set in motion a series of villainous events that threaten the lives of everyone around him.

Who will stop this pathological narcissist before the whole country is deceived and destroyed? Following 2023’s ★★★★ ‘riveting’ (The Telegraph) A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Director Elle While returns to explore the enduring allure and charisma of evil. ‘Alack, I love myself.’ – Act V, scene 3 Date: Saturday 8th June 2024 Time: 2pm, followed by an optional dinner at the Real Greek Restaurant, Bankside Tickets: £62    (plus restaurant for those eating) Tickets will show as £0 below.
