Media Centre

This year’s Lord Mayor’s Show is on Saturday 14 November. Most of the press material related to the Show comes out either at the beginning of October, around the time of the incoming Lord Mayor’s election, or in the two weeks before the Show itself as everything is lined up for the day.

If you’re looking for background, the best introductions to the Show are probably to be found in the 2008 announcement and number crunching press releases and this site has a section devoted to the history and development of the show.

Meanwhile, there is an archive of media material from the last couple of years:

2008: Overview, press releases, pictures.

2007: Overview, press releases, pictures.

We have recently added an image library to the site, which we are now populating with useful pictures of the Lord Mayor’s Show past and present. You can see bits of that machinery in the press image pages but the real thing should be launched in late spring or early summer.

In short

The 2009 Lord Mayor's Show will be on Saturday 14 November. The procession lasts from 11am to about 2.30pm and fills the whole area between Bank and Aldwych. There are guided walks at 3 and the day ends with fireworks at 5 over the Thames.

Take part!

If you'd like to take part in next year's Show, please get in touch with the Pageantmaster's office soon. It's a fantastic way to boost your profile, raise morale and do something for charity all at once, and the procession is usually full by late spring.
