Dinner at Carpenters Hall

Wednesday 11th October 2023

Start: 7.30pm | Finish: 10.30pm

This event has passed

The Carpenters’ Company has had a Hall on London Wall since 1429.  About 1520, the land was bequeathed to the Company by its then Master, Thomas Smart.  The current Hall was built following an air riad in 1941 that practically destroyed the 1880 Hall.  At least 18 different kinds of wood were used intended to showcase the craft of the Company and the banqueting hall is modern and contemporary in style.  It is these august surroundings that the Master will welcome you to his final black-tie Livery Hall dinner. We will enjoy a sparkling reception followed by a splendid three-course dinner with wine. The evening will conclude with port, toasts and speeches. 

This event follows our welcoming ceremony for new members, who may wish to continue their celebrations by attending this splendid dinner.
