Cask Race – Guildhall Yard

Last Updated on 05/03/2025

The Coopers’ Cask Race returns to Guildhall Yard on Saturday 21st June 2025, and we are calling on teams from the Livery and Civic community to take up the challenge! Knowing that many of our members are involved with other livery companies, Ward Clubs, and other civic organisations this is the perfect opportunity to involve those incredible organisations in this unique event.
We are delighted to announce that the Lady Mayoress will open the proceedings, adding a touch of civic splendour to what promises to be a lively and competitive morning.
The competition is already heating up, with teams from the Glovers (gripping the challenge with both hands), the Merchant Taylors (cutting through the opposition), the Army Cadets (ready for battle), the Household Cavalry (charging towards victory), and the Management Consultants (rolling out a strategy for success) among those already signed up. Spaces are filling fast—don’t miss your chance to join the fun!
