The Master invites you to join him at the Lord Mayor’s Show 2026 to celebrate the election of the 698th Lord Mayor and represent the Coachmakers in our 350th year.
To mark such a special occasion, we have returned to the traditional and upped the ante. Our ‘float’ features three coaches, The Millennium, Quo Vadis and a Park Drag, all built from scratch, using traditional methods, by our Master, Mark Broadbent and his team at Fenix Carriages. The Millennium, Quo Vadis are currently displayed, on behalf of their owners, as part of the collection at Fenix Carriages in Devon. The Park Drag is kindly loaned by its owner.
We will join other Livery Companies and organisations in leading the new Lord Mayor of London through the City in the magnificent gold state coach. The three-mile route travels from Bank to Aldwych, via St Paul’s, and then returns along Embankment.
Ticket price includes a Champagne picnic at the half-way point.
This really is a day not to be missed. On top of the camaraderie of the day with fellow Coachmakers, you will be cheered and applauded by more than 500,000 well-wishers, lining the streets of London and possibly star in a landmark BBC production watched by more than 2 million viewers.
Alternatively, if you wish to watch this magnificent procession from the Lord Mayor’s enclosure by St Paul’s Cathedral, please contact Honorary Assistant Richard Robinson directly for more information.
For those who wish to join us after the Show, our usual area will be reserved at Ye Old Watling, Watling Street for an after-Show meal. The cost of this is not included in the ticket price.
