The Lord Mayor's Show Take part in the Lord Mayor’s Show

The modern Lord Mayor’s Show is a unique celebration of the heritage, culture, commerce and history of the City of London. It is joyful, genuine, ancient and much loved, and it is broadcast live every year on the BBC with commentary and interviews at Mansion House. There is no better way to affirm and celebrate your place in the City.

For many companies the Show is also a way to show their commitment to social responsibility, make good works visible, launch campaigns and celebrate birthdays.

This is also the largest unrehearsed procession in the world, and your float is a great chance for staff to work together on an unusual, memorable, creative and very positive project.

Participation in the Show is by invitation but we are always pleased to consider new participants. There is a fee. If you would like to learn more and talk it over with the Show's organisers, you can start the process here:
