Court & Livery Lunch, September 2025

Join us at Butchers’ Hall on Friday 5th September for the current Master's Farewell Court Lunch, featuring the return of acclaimed actors Michael Fenton Stevens and Robert Bathurst—pictured with Past Master Tim Dumenil—who will once again entertain us as a lively double act.

Guest Speakers

Michael Fenton Stevens, known for his work in Radio Active, KYTV, and the satirical hit Spitting Image, is a familiar voice and face in British comedy, with appearances in Only Fools and Horses, Benidorm, Mr. Bean, and numerous stage productions, including pantomime and work with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Robert Bathurst, best known for his role as David Marsden in ITV’s Cold Feet, has also starred in Downton Abbey, Joking Apart, The Pillars of the Earth, and Doctor Who, alongside a distinguished stage career that includes Noises Off, Present Laughter, and Blithe Spirit.

Michael last joined us in September 2022, and Robert in July 2020 - we are delighted to welcome them back together for what promises to be a memorable and entertaining occasion.

We look forward to hearing from them in September.
