Square Events – events that make a difference

“When the Sheep Drive & Livery Fair invited me to be their guest, saying yes was an easy decision to make. This event is so prestigious to be involved in, one which carries years of history and I’m so proud to be able to lead the first drive of sheep across Southwark Bridge on 26thSeptember. Sheep are central to my life and this celebration of them will be a day to remember.” Amanda Owen, The Yorkshire Shepherdess.

After careful consideration of Government guidelines and the health and safety of all involved, it has been decided with sadness, that this year’s Sheep Drive and Livery Fair on Southwark Bridge will not take place on 27th September 2020. However, watch this space for exciting plans for next year, for which the date is Sunday 26th September 2021!

We are honoured that the Worshipful Company of Woolmen’s Sheep Drive 2020 will be led by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, one of the world’s greatest sopranos, accompanied by The Lord Mayor of London, William Russell.

Members of the Lloyd’s Classic Motor Club exhibited some of their most-loved classic cars in an exclusive display at Leadenhall Market on Sunday 29th September.

Another splendid day where Freemen of the City of London drove sheep across the Thames, re-enacting their historic right to bring their sheep to market in the city, this year led by the Rt Hon Michael Portillo and Lord Mayor of London.

Proud to be saluting the outstanding achievements of members of the Armed Forces community at a very special night of celebration!
