We are pleased to announce the details of this year’s Annual Dinner, supported by Mitie.

Once again, the dinner will be held at Carpenters’ Hall where the Carpenters’ Company has been based since its first hall was built there in 1429. Since that time, there have been three Halls. The current (third) hall which still stands today, was built following an air raid in 1941 and was opened in 1960.

Our guest speaker for the evening will be General Sir Gordon Messenger KCB DSO* OBE ADC. Sir Gordon has had a long and impressive career in the Royal Marines and is the current Constable of the Tower of London. He is also an Hon Liveryman of the Company.

During the evening the Master will present the RMP Provost Marshal (Army) Sword which is presented annually to the individual who has done most to promote and support the work of the Company. There will be entertainment from the London Banqueting Ensemble and the 2026 Sheriffs’ Award for Bravery will be presented by Past Sheriff and Hon Liveryman, The Hon Liz Green OBE DL.
