WCB Ladies' Banquet 2023
The Annual Ladies' Banquet returns to Butchers' Hall, for the first time since 2014, and will return in all it's glory as a highlight of the Livery calendar on Friday 10th March 2023.
The Master and his Consort look forward to entertaining The Rt. Hon. the Lord Mayor, The Lady Mayoress, Alderman & Sheriff Alastair King DL and Sheriff Andrew Marsden with their ladies and invite you to join them for a magnificent White Tie Dinner, which will include fine dining, entertainment and City traditions.
The evening will commence with a Reception at 6.30pm, when your arrival will be announced by the Beadle as you join a receiving line to be greeted by The Master and his Consort.
Dinner will be called promptly at 7.15pm. A four-course meal with fine wines will be served and entertainment will take place during the meal.
Traditions return with a very special Loving Cup ceremony during the meal.
Following speeches, a Stirrup Cup will be served for your further enjoyment.
We look forward to welcoming Liverymen with their partners and guests to the Ladies' Banquet 2023.
Booking for this event has now closed.
