Join Clergy Support Trust in celebrating our 370th annual service of thanksgiving and fellowship at St Paul’s Cathedral. This historic City event is anchored by the support of Livery Companies and the City of London, and brings together three cathedral choirs from around the UK as part of the oldest choral festival in the world.
This year, the Cathedral Choirs of Bradford and Lichfield will be joining St Paul’s, and our preacher will be The Right Reverend Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, Bishop of Chelmsford.
The Service begins at 5pm, with processions at 4.40pm, and is followed by Dinner at the Plaisterers Hall.
Please do share the date widely with your members, family, friends, colleagues and all others who might enjoy this extraordinary event. Ticket booking is currently open at https://www.clergysupport.org.uk/festival
NB: Livery Masters and Clerks will receive an email with their personalised booking link in the weeks to come.

The Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch is always a very popular event. Following this year’s cancellation, Co-Chairman Michael Hockney has revealed plans for 2021.
It will come as no surprise, in the current circumstances, that Government legislation and guidance, aimed at controlling the spread of the virus, continues to present significant limitations on the manner in which the proceedings for the Election of Lord Mayor might be conducted this year.
