Save the date!
To celebrate 20 years since we received our Royal Charter and 25 years since we became the 102nd Livery Company, we are entering our Float – The Magic Tap – in the Lord Mayor’s Show in November. Many thanks to the members who have made this possible through their generous donations totalling over £9,000 to cover the entry costs.
Company Members will be invited to join in the fun, either on the float or walking beside it.
The Lord Mayor’s Show dates back to the early 13th century when King John granted that the City of London could appoint its own Mayor. He stipulated that each newly-elected Mayor should come upriver to distant Westminster and swear loyalty to the Crown; the Mayors have been making that journey for over 800 years. Around them grew up a noisy, colourful and jourous procecssion that over the centuries became known as the Lord Mayor’s Show.
