SUMMARY:Visit to Highgate Cemetery and Supper
DESCRIPTION:The world-famous Highgate Cemetery\, with its iconic tombs (Karl Marx etc) was originally opened in 1839\, as part of a commercial venture to provide seven large\, modern cemeteries\, round the edge of central London. The inner-city cemeteries\, mostly graveyards attached to churches\, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and “The Magnificent Seven” were intended to solve this problem\, and to turn a profit at the same time. \nHighgate occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site on Highgate Hill. Like the other six\, it soon became a fashionable place for burials and the Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs\, buildings and catacombs. \nSadly\, the cemetery was not well run and fell into such dire financial straits in the Mid-20th Century that most of the staff\, including the gardeners were laid off\, and it was left unguarded and so was much vandalised. Over decades\, the grounds became increasingly overgrown and today they are full of trees\, shrubbery\, and wildflowers\, as well as being a haven for birds and small animals\, such as foxes. \nIn 1975\, Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust bought the freehold\, and order is steadily being restored to what has\, despite its troubled history\, remained a working cemetery throughout. With its sinuous paths winding up a steep wooded hill and ivy-clad monuments\, Highgate Cemetery is a secluded\, funerary landscape at its most evocative. \nWe will have a hour’s private tour of the Western Cemetery (considered by those who have visited both\, to be much the more interesting)\, after the gates have shut to the public for the day. We will be shown all the key sites there\, before slipping across the road to visit Karl Marx’s tomb and a few other items on the Eastern side. \nAfter our tour\, we will repair to a restaurant in Highgate for an informal supper. \nThe Guide can only accommodate 20 of us\, and tickets cost £59 per person\, which will include the two-course supper. \nThe cemetery is on a hillside and our tour will include some walks up and down slopes and stone staircases\, so this event is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. \n\nTickets: £59 \nTime: 5pm    followed by supper nearby

SUMMARY:Clergy Support Trust - Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:The 370th Festival will be held on Tuesday 13 May 2025\nThe Festival is a unique and extraordinary event. It celebrates the work of the Trust and the clergy households we serve\, with our generous supporters. \nOne of the oldest choral music events in the world\, bringing together three exceptional cathedral choirs\, the Festival Service at St Paul’s Cathedral is an afternoon of thanksgiving for the ministry of our clergy. The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford\, The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani will preach. \nOur Festival is our biggest fundraising event of the year. A cash collection will be taken\, and Contactless Donation Points will be beside those of St Paul’s at the Cathedral doors. \nWe are delighted to introduce you to this year’s choirs\, joining us for what promises to be a majestic act of worship. \n\nBradford Cathedral Choir\nBradford Cathedral Choir have been part of the city’s choral community since well before St Peter’s Church became Bradford Cathedral\, over 100 years ago. There are two fully independent lines of boy and girl choristers\, drawn from schools throughout the region\, and a number of teenage Junior Choral Scholars. \nThe choir sings regularly for five services a week\, including compline on Thursday evenings\, undertakes regular tours\, gives concerts\, and occasionally makes recordings and broadcasts. Further collaborations are planned for 2025\, including with BBC television. The choir is led by their Organist and Director of Music\, Graham Thorpe. \nLichfield Cathedral Choir\nMade up of four discrete sections which form many different combinations – the Boy Choristers\, the Girl Choristers\, and the VI form Choral Scholars (all of whom attend the Cathedral School)\, and the Lay Vicars Choral – Lichfield Cathedral Choir is led by their Director of Music\, Ben Lamb and the Assistant Director of Music\, Martyn Rawles. \nDuring school term time\, the Choir usually sings seven services each week: Choral Compline on Monday\, Choral Evensong Tuesday to Friday\, and the Eucharist and Evensong on Sunday. The Choir also gives occasional concerts and recitals\, and has made frequent broadcasts\, both on television and radio. \nThe founding of the choir can be traced back to the early days of the current cathedral in the 13th century\, and we’re delighted that they’re making the 120-mile journey to perform for us at our historic 370th Festival Service this year. \nSt Paul’s Cathedral Choir\nBradford and Lichfield Cathedral Choirs will perform alongside St Paul’s Cathedral Choir – who have leant us their time and talent every year for over three centuries – led by their Director of Music\, Andrew Carwood MBE. Speaking on last year’s Festival Service\, Andrew said: \n“It is a rare and wonderful joy to work with such incredible choirs each year\, and even more so when you are part of an almost unbroken line of choirs singing together under the dome of St Paul’s stretching back over nearly 370 years.” \nThe choir have performed at some of the cathedral’s most important services – including their Grenfell Tower Memorial Service and their Service of Prayer and Reflection for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. \n\nJoin the Festival\nThe Festival Service is free to attend\, and will take place at St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday 13 May 2025\, 5pm. \nWe welcome over 1\,000 guests to the Festival each year – so there’s plenty of room for everyone! However\, while there may be tickets available on the day\, we recommend that you book ahead in advance to avoid disappointment.

SUMMARY:Livery Tour and Dinner on SS Great Britain - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:The SS Great Britain is the world’s first great ocean liner and when launched in 1843 she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’. After 40 years as a passenger ship and then a cargo ship\, she was severely damaged off Cape Horn and left to rot in the Falkland Islands until 1970\, when she was re-floated and bought back to Bristol\, where a charity refurbished her and cares for the ship and Brunel’s collections. \nBrunel’s ship is now Bristol’s number one tourist attraction and has been lovingly restored to her original glory\, exactly as she would have been ready for her maiden voyage. She sits in a dry dock on a glass ‘sea’ and dominates Bristol’s historic waterfront. \nThis is a very rare opportunity to dine on the this world-famous ship\, as London’s Liveries\, (led by the Engineers\, naturally!)\, have her for our exclusive use that evening. \nA welcome drink which will be served on the Weather Deck from 6pm\, with spectacular views over Bristol harbour. If the weather is less kind\, we will use the Promenade Deck\, where the first-class passengers would take their afternoon stroll on rainy days. This is flooded with natural light and has a number of exhibits that we can explore. \nAt 7:30pm we will assemble for Dinner in the First Class Dining Saloon\, which has been completely refurbished in the original style. With marbled pillars and rococo mirrors it makes a grand setting. A three-course meal will be served\, with wine. There will be entertainment after the meal and further drinks will be available to purchase. \nWe have exclusive use of the Great Britain from 6pm to midnight and are invited to explore it\, making the most of this unique venue. \nThe ship is easy to reach by car\, public transport or on foot. There are also several hotels near the ship\, for those who wish to stay over on the Friday night\, and Clare can advise on these. \n\nTickets: £142 \nDress: dinner suits for gentlemen and cocktail/summer dresses for ladies. Colour is to be encouraged\, as is comfort. \nTime: 6pm-midnight

SUMMARY:Pride and Prejudice (Sort of!)
DESCRIPTION:Our Livery has a history of organising visits to leading theatrical events\, many of which have won national awards. This show is one of those. \nDirect from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy\, and the similar Evening Standard Award\, amongst other prizes\, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)\, is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story. Men\, money and microphones are fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation\, where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance. \nThe critics universally hailed it and typical reviews included:: “This smart\, laugh out loud funny show” (Daily Telegraph)\, “Riotously funny … gloriously entertaining … frankly sensational” (Variety)\, “Faithful to the book\, it’s also a raucously irreverent romp” (Daily Mail)\, “It’s a blast: Austen turbocharged with utter theatrical audacity” (The i)\, “Profoundly joyous” (Glasgow Herald) and “Layer upon layer of brilliance” (The Scotsman). \nThe show  also features a string of classic songs\, suitably woven into the storyline\, and what is amazing is that the entire tale is told by five energetic young women\, supported by an very suitable set and an array of props\, including a pantomime horse\, a floor mop and some marigold rubber gloves! \nWe have booked some of the best seats in the house for the Saturday matinee performance on 24th May at 2.30pm\, and will gather beforehand at 12.30pm at the highly-regarded Il Pelligrino restaurant\, which is about 100 yards from the theatre\, for a nice lunch. \nThere are only eight tickets available\, and guests are welcome\, so early booking is advisable.
