City Briefings

These are aimed particularly at new Liverymen and Freemen but partners are also welcome to attend. Liverymen and Freemen of longer standing, who have not previously been to a Briefing, are also encouraged to attend.

They give a short introduction to the work of the Corporation, especially the relationship with the livery companies. The presentation is given by an Assistant Town Clerk and a member of the Livery Committee. There is opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and the Briefing is followed by a light finger buffet, which provides the chance to mix with other Liverymen and Freemen.

The Briefings are held at:

Innholders' Hall
30 College Street
London EC4R 2RH – see map

There is a non-refundable charge of £10 per person for the course.

There are four Briefings a year held on the dates listed below. Once you have selected and applied for one of the Briefings, you will be able to change the date and carry your payment forward, providing 7 days notice is given.

To change the date of the Briefing you wish to attend please contact the Course Administrator at admin@liverycommitteecourses.org stating your and your guest’s (if applicable) name, your livery company, the date of the course you were originally booked on and the new date of the course you wish to attend.
