There will be a chance to go into the Guildhall’s impressive Livery Hall later this year, when the Lady Mayor of London gives the annual Gresham Lecture, and free tickets are now available.
The event is Gresham College’s annual Lord Mayor’s lecture, which by the City of London’s standards, is a fairly new annual tradition that was started in 2010, and takes place in either Mansion House or at the Guildhall each year.
This year, the talk and debate will be held in the grand surroundings of The Livery Hall, which sits under the equally grand Old Library. Used as a museum from 1872 until the outbreak of WWII, the Livery Hall was restored in 2008 and, in a couple of months’ time, will host the annual Gresham Lecture.
Tickets are free and are available here.
The Gresham Lecture takes place on Monday 13th April at 6pm.
The lecture summary:
“Moving the conversation on social mobility out of the boardroom and into the mainstream, the Lady Mayor Dame Susan Langley will set out her ambition to connect people with opportunity and “unsquare” the Square Mile: ensuring nobody has to fit in a certain box to thrive in the UK’s financial capital.
Joined by an expert panel, she’ll ask how we can change people’s view of the City and break down barriers that might hold people back from fulfilling their potential.”
