SUMMARY:Shrieval Election and Lunch 2025\, with former Sheriff Andrew Marsden
DESCRIPTION:Twice a year\, the City of London Corporation’s Common Hall is transformed from a standard local authority meeting on civic issues\, into a day of great ceremony. Click here for more history and information. \nEach autumn\, Liverymen elect the next year’s Lord Mayor and every summer\, it’s the turn of the two Sheriffs. \nAfter Common Hall\, many Liveries go home\, but the Master Chartered Accountant hosts a private Reception and Lunch in the Aldermen’s Dining Room. \nWe go up to Guildhall’s roof terrace on the fourth floor for the Reception and then into the Dining Room for lunch. \nThis summer\, we will all be delighted to welcome former Sheriff\, Past Master Marketor and former FSG Chairman\, Andrew Marsden\, as our Principal Guest. Andrew will talk to us after the meal about what happens to you\, if lucky enough to be elected Sheriff\, between that election and when you actually emerge\, blinking into the light\, as a shiny new Sheriff in September. Happily\, Andrew has promised to be highly indiscrete! \nPartners and guests are very welcome and will be able to have coffee and explore the Guildhall Gallery\, while Liverymen are attending the Election Ceremony. \n  \n\n11.30am – Coffee \n11.45am – All attending the Election Ceremony must be seated \n12noon – Shrieval Election Ceremony \n12.45pm – Drinks in the Aldermen’s Dining Room \n1.15pm – Lunch in the Aldermen’s Dining Room \n\nDress: lounge suit or smart day wear \nTickets: £98\, for Drinks Reception and Lunch

SUMMARY:Carol Service at the Chapel Royal inside the Tower of London and Supper at Watermen's Hall
DESCRIPTION:As well as very kindly granting the Company a private tour of the Tower on 20th November\, and ringside seats at that evening’s Ceremony of the Keys\, the Governor has also given us permission to hold this year’s Carol Service in their Chapel Royal. The Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula stands in the north-east corner of the fortress and dates from the reign of King Henry VIII\, but it is merely the latest church on the site\, which has been holy ground since the Dark Ages. \n \nFor those who wish to take a general tour beforehand and see the Crown Jewels\, it has been agreed that we can buy tickets for entry between 3pm and 4pm\, at a cost of £32 each. Then\, once the Tower closes\, rather than being asked to wait outside for the service\, we are going to be allowed to have a drink in the Yeoman Warders’ private pub\, The Keys\, until 6pm. (Note: this is a cash-only bar.) \nMembers and their guests who do not wish to visit the Tower of London before the Carol Service need to come to the main entrance on the western side of the fortress at 6pm. \n \n  \nAt 6pm\, everyone will led up to the Chapel Royal and given a talk on its history and present day role. The service itself will begin at 6.30pm and should last about an hour. The cost of attending the service (which goes towards the choir etc) is £28. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nAfter the service\, Members and their guests can either leave for home\, or walk to Watermen’s Hall\, seven minutes away\, for canapés and drinks\, with a Christmas theme\, the cost of which is £49 per person. \n  \n  \n\nTower of London\, Crown Jewels\, The Keys pub\n3pm-6pm\n£32 (plus cash-only bar in the pub) \nCarol Service in the Chapel Royal in the Tower of London\n6.30pm\n£28 \nDrinks and Canapés at Watermen’s Hall\n7.30pm\n£49 \nThis is an event at which guests (including children) are most welcome\, and it is perhaps worth stressing that the Company in unlikely to be granted this honour again in the near future\, so it is probably something most of us are unlikely to be able to do again in our Livery careers. \nDress: smart day wear\, and given that the Tower is always chilly in December (All that stone!) coats\, hats and gloves are advisable.

SUMMARY:Carol Service and Drinks
DESCRIPTION:This year’s service will be held in St Mary le Bow Church\, the church of the famous Bow Bells! With the Choristers from the Bread Street Choir of St Paul’s Cathedral School\, this is a lovely way to mark the Christmas Season with fellow Livery members. \nThe church is of Saxon origins\, with a Norman crypt\, that was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666 by Sir Christopher Wren. It was badly bombed from enemy aircraft during the Blitz in 1941\, and restored between 1956-1964. The sound of the bells of St Mary’s is prominent in the story of Dick Whittington in which the bells are credited with having persuaded him to turn back from Highgate and remain in London to become Lord Mayor. Traditionally\, people living within earshot of Bow Bells are considered to be “Cockney”. \nThe church itself is beautiful inside as well as light\, airy and a perfect setting for the annual Carol Service\, which for many members marks the real start of the festive season. \nAfter the service\, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy drinks and canapes in the stunning\, ancient crypts below the church. \nA lovely opportunity to enjoy some festive music and celebrate the season with fellow Livery Company members. \n\nTickets \n£59 including drinks and canapés \n£20 just the service\, \nTickets include a donation to our affiliated choir\, The Bread Street Choir \nBook below\nor contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org\nor 07828 554967
