At the inaugural United Guilds’ Service, in 1943, all the City Livery Companies and Guilds gathered in St Paul’s Cathedral to lift their spirits after the Blitz.  The Service continues, in a similar form, to this day and remains one of the few occasions when the City Livery Companies and Guilds gather as one.

This year, the Service will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral on the morning of Friday 20^th March, after which there is an opportunity to join with other Companies for lunch at nearby Plaisterers’ Hall.

For further information and how to book, please see the flyer.
