The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

The Clergy Support Festival, one of the oldest choral music events in the world, is a key date in the Church, City of London and choral music calendars, and over the years composers including Edward Elgar have written music especially for the event. It includes a majestic procession of Bishops, Masters of Livery Companies, representatives of the City of London, Stewards of the Festival and other dignitaries. The Service at St Paul’s Cathedral (4pm doors, to be seated for 4.40pm) celebrates the ministry of the clergy households that are served. Tickets are free. The Dinner at Plaisterers’ Hall (6.20pm doors, for a 7.10pm start) is a networking and fundraising event, to support our work. Tickets are £150.

A wonderful opportunity to lunch at an historic hall.  With its rich history and architectural charm, this hidden gem is open to all. Home to the historic Founders’ Company, the Hall is a rare venue in the heart of the City of London, just a few minute’s walk from the tube stations at Barbican, Farringdon or St Paul’s.

Enjoy a seasonal, prix-fixe menu crafted with care, and indulge in a truly unique lunch experience, surrounded by London’s most iconic history. We are aiming for 8 Members and above. The more the merrier! Above six we will need to pre-order.

The menu will be provided 2 weeks prior to our booking date, and we will need to confirm our choices by 6th May at the latest.

An example of the current menu is shown below .

The Company will celebrate its close ties with the City of London, with its civic institutions, and with the principal charities we support, at this year’s Civic and Charities’ Luncheon on Thursday 11^th June.

 

The event will be held at Baker’s Hall, a spectacular venue ‘encompassing 750 years of heritage within a truly modern and inspirational setting’.

 

For more details and booking arrangements, please see the flyer.

Common Hall will be held on the mornings of Wed 24 Jun and on Tue 29 Sep this year, when you may exercise your right as a Liveryman to elect the Sheriffs and the Lord Mayor of the City respectively, as those before you have done for some 550 years.  Note: to be eligible this year, you must have advanced before 31 May 25.

Arrangements for obtaining (free) tickets to Common Hall held at the Guildhall, and for booking Lunch (at a cost) at Founders’ Hall afterwards, are found on the flyer here.

The flyer covers Common Hall in both June and September (to assist your diary planning); it also invites you to book and pay for Lunch after each Common Hall.

Please note: Common Hall Elections are for Liverymen only, however all are welcome to attend lunch.
