Election of Sheriffs & Lunch
All Liverymen who were admitted on or before 31 May 2022 are invited to attend the Guildhall on Monday 26 June 2023 for the Election of Sheriffs for the City of London. There is a Lunch at Butchers' Hall after the event which is available for all Liverymen and guests to book.
The annual Election of Sheriffs at Guildhall is one of the City of London's most important occasions.
As an eligible Liveryman (admitted on or after 31 May 2022) you have the right to vote and decide who takes office as Sheriff for the ensuing year.
A Sheriff is the oldest civic in the City (older than the office of the Lord Mayor itself) so your vote keeps the City traditions alive and helps to shape the future of the Square Mile!
This year's candidates are:
- Alderwoman Sue Langley (Insurer)
- Alderman Bronek Masojada (Insurer)
After the formalities, we invite you to join the Master with fellow Liverymen and other Livery companies for a Lunch at Butchers' Hall, which includes a glass of prosecco on arrival, a 3 course Roast Beef meal, half a bottle of wine per person and tea/coffee with petit fours.
The lunch is available to all to book, irrespective of whether you attend the Election in the morning.
Friends, colleagues and family members are most welcome to join the lunch but will not be able to attend the elections unless they are qualifying Liverymen themselves.
Timings:
11.45am at Guildhall, arrive from 11am to be seated no later than 11.30am
Lunch: Approx 1.15pm for 1.45pm at Butchers' Hall
Passes for admission to the Election will be sent to you in advance by post.
