THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED, WE HOPE TO REARRANGE IT LATER IN 2021

THIS EVENT WAS INTENDED TO BE THE MASTER'S FINAL DINNER. IF IT GOES AHEAD IT MAY BE DINNER AFTER THE ANNUAL SERVICE OR AN INSTALLATION DINNER. ALL TBC.

Ironmongers’ Hall is the setting for the Master’s Final Dinner. The present Hall, home to the tenth of the Great Twelve Livery Companies of the City, was opened on 17th June 1925.
The Tudor style of the new Hall was decided upon, not only because it seemed appropriate for the housing of an ancient guild, but also because it recalled the Golden Age of Craftsmanship. The Hall had a remarkable escape in December 1940, when a German air raid set fire to all the adjacent buildings, which were destroyed. The heat melted lead pipes and glass in the windows but luckily the rest survived.

The evening will start with a sparkling reception after which we will be served a fabulous three-course dinner with wine, followed by port, toasts and the Loving Cup Ceremony.
