The team at Brick Lane Music Hall is extending an invitation to members of the Livery Companies of the City of London to join them for a special performance this spring. For the first time, Brick Lane Music Hall will be presenting an Easter pantomime created especially for families, and we would love to welcome Livery Company members, along with their families, to share in the fun. On Saturday 28th March, we will be staging Jack and the Beanstalk – An Easter Family Panto Extravaganza, a lively and joyful show filled with music, comedy, audience participation and all the larger-than-life characters that make traditional British pantomime such a beloved part of our theatrical heritage. Pantomime holds a very special place here at Brick Lane Music Hall. Our annual pantomime for grown-ups has become one of the highlights of the year, celebrating the colourful and mischievous spirit of British Music Hall. In 2025 we were honoured with a Special Award from the UK Pantomime Association for Upholding Pantomime History, Tradition and Heritage, and our productions have also received multiple Fringe Award nominations and glowing five-star reviews. This new family-friendly version of Jack and the Beanstalk has been created to introduce younger audiences to the joy of live theatre. For many children, pantomime is their very first theatre experience, and those magical memories can last a lifetime.

Get your teams ready for a bit of competition round the City! “The Two Mile Revolution”   You will journey from Temple Bar Memorial to Threadneedle Street along the route where the most significant moments in medieval London unfolded. Using observation, deduction and a little research you will uncover clues connected to the Knights Templar and the Barons’ War, moving through streets where rebels, crusading knights, merchants and kings once competed for power.     Each team will divide the roles of navigator, clue-master and visual spotter, working together to solve forty challenges hidden along the two mile route. The aim is to get the most points along the way to become the winning team! Scores will be counted up at the end, and the winner revealed while you enjoy drinks and canapés on a rooftop terrace overlooking the City.   Tickets: £50 To include the walk, question sheets, and rooftop drinks & canapés Time: Meet at 5.30pm - teams will be set up a start times staggered

The Interlivery Golf Croquet Competition will be held this year on Saturday 27 June 2026 at Southwick near Brighton, commencing at 9:30am for 10:00am. Many of you will remember that we won the trophy last year - Jonathan Grosvenor and Lynn Pearcy doing an excellent job - and the Chartered Accountants' Company is taking a team again this year. We have a full team for this year based on past players and those who were reserves last year. We would still welcome more members who would like to play, but standing as reserves for this year. If you are interested, please reply by email. If you have a croquet handicap (golf or association) do include that in your email. Experience of golf croquet is not a requirement though for the competition as there is a short training session before the competition itself begins. The day is great fun and the Southwick Croquet Club, our hosts, provide lunch and afternoon tea and there is also a pay bar. The day usually finishes around 4:00pm. We do already have a full team for the current year (unless the team captain breaks a leg as he did last year) but we would really welcome supporters to come along, cheer, have a drink at the bar and meet the members from our own and other liveries. There are limited places for guests for lunch (at £60 per head) but these have to booked in advance. Again, let us know if you would like to come and watch. Finally, if croquet appeals but you don't want put your name forward for the team - and there are limited places - or even know little about it and would like to learn - still let us know and we could think about a smaller internal friendly...

Sharp tongues and savage gossip fuel a messy, magnetic attraction in this new production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the Globe Theatre. The war is over, but the battle for love is just beginning. Beatrice has sworn off men, but there’s something about Benedick she just can’t leave alone. Meanwhile, beneath Messina’s polished surface, secrets slip, gossip runs wild and reputations hang by a thread. Everyone’s saving face – and nobody’s doing it very well. Set in a sun-soaked world of style and status, where image is everything and late-night parties blur into dawn, Chelsea Walker’s (All’s Well That End’s Well, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Globe) Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most incisive romantic comedies. An unfiltered look at bad behaviour, second chances, and recovering from old wounds. ‘Therein do men from children nothing differ.’ Tickets: £86.50 please purchase online below Time: 2pm-4.30pm approx. Followed by an optional meal at The Swan London nextdoor.
