Inter-Livery Golf - open to all!
2026-07-31 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
We have a core base of over 20 active members, including our current Master, but anyone who is a member of our Livery Company is a de facto member of the Golf Society with no additional subscription. If any member is interested they simply have to express their interest to Paul Druckman on paul.druckman@gmail.com and indicate which fixtures they may be able to play during the season. Paul can provide more details and welcome you with open arms!

Our fixtures are open to all members of our Company.
The golf clubs we play are some of the best in the country, with a strong southern England bias I am afraid. They are a mixture of matches against other Livery Companies and within events run by a Livery Company but with teams from multiple Companies.

Our internal competition is played at Royal Wimbledon on 7th September with only our Livery Company members, a joyous occasion attended by many for the Gardener Challenge Bowls presented by Kenneth Gardener (Senior Past Master) every year.

Please see full fixture list below:
Tandridge – Match v CAGS – 9 April 2026 – Match 4BBB
Ashridge – Horners’ Inter Livery Golf – 10 June 2026 – Team 4BBB
London Club – Pewterers Challenge – 26 June 2026 – Better Ball Pairs

Much Ado About Nothing
2026-07-28 14:00 - 17:00 | Globe Theatre, 21 New Globe Walk, Bankside, London, SE1 9DT, United Kingdom
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.

FSG invitation - Justice for All Series
2026-06-29 17:00 - 20:30 | Central Criminal Court, The, Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7EH
Introduction:

Justice underpins our freedoms, our economy, and our civic life. Yet our systems are under pressure—underfunded, overstretched, and outdated. The Justice for All Series provides a platform to confront this reality with honesty and ambition.
Conceived by Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney, Sheriff of the City of London (2025–26), and hosted at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), this five-part series brings together those in a position to ask hard questions—and propose evidence-based solutions.
Framed around the anniversaries of Magna Carta (1225) and UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, the series does not seek consensus, but clarity: What does a just society require today? Who must act? And what will it cost us if we do not?

Interlivery Golf Croquet - register your interest
2026-06-27 09:30 - 16:30 | Sussex County Croquet Club, Victoria Road, Southwick, BN42 4DJ
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 set of games.

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.
We would be delighted to welcome members of the Livery community and their families to share in the laughter, fun and festive spirit of this special performance.

Love isn’t always smooth sailing

One of Gilbert & Sullivan‘s most beloved works, HMS Pinafore tells a classic tale of a forbidden love, and the troubles that must be overcome before our hero and heroine can be together.

All aboard HMS Pinafore for this hilarious revival of Gilbert & Sullivan’s nautical love triangle.
Join Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine as she faces a battle between duty and love on the high seas. While her father makes plans for her to tie the knot with the suitably ranked First Lord of the Admiralty, Josephine has romantic ideas of her own. And after falling for lowly deckhand Ralph, the loved-up pair make plans to elope. That is, until a surprise revelation rocks the boat.

More details of the ENO’s HMS Pinafore can be found HERE

If you like your operas to have a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour, you’ll love HMS Pinafore.

The London Library has stood on the corner of St James’s Square since 1845 and is one of the oldest lending libraries in the world, with over 1,000,000 books available to members. Incredibly most of these books are held on site in the original purpose-built metal ‘stacks’.
Our Court Assistant Steven Whitaker is a trustee of the library and has arranged a private tour on 4 December 2025.
We will begin at 6pm with a glass or two of champagne in the famous Issue Hall before embarking at 6.30pm on a tour that covers all the major parts of the library, including the beautiful Reading Room, well-known to many literary greats over the years including Dickens, Thackeray, Forster and TS Eliot (who became President of the library in 1952). Today’s President is Helena Bonham-Carter.
All areas of the tour are accessible by lift, but there will also be a chance to ‘climb’ the stacks, for those wanting to explore the hidden depths of the library.
We will end with the chance to see a few of the most notable books in the library, hand-picked by the Head of Collections.
The tour is scheduled to finish at 7.30pm allowing you time to head off to dinner – or to Christmas parties!

6pm: Champagne
6.30pm: Tour
7.30pm: Finish

Under the expert direction of Andrew Nethsingha, Director of Music at Westminster Abbey the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Cathedral will reunite to perform once again. This years’ service will feature the premiere of a specially created anthem by Piers Connor Kennedy, along with a special performance to be confirmed at a later date.
Help Musicians relies on vital funds to support musicians across the UK. While tickets to the service are complimentary, we warmly encourage guests to make a donation when booking. 100% of every donation will directly support the thousands of musicians who need our help every year.
We hope you will be able to join us for this special occasion.
