ATTENDANCE
Only liverymen are entitled to attend and vote and for historical reasons must have been a liveryman for at least a year - ie: since before May 2023.
You will need a (free) ticket to gain easy access which the Clerk will send to you.
You will still be able to gain access without a ticket, but entry will be delayed as the registers are checked. This option is not recommended!

Please note: Freemen, spouses and other guests of Liverymen are not entitled to attend Common Hall - there is just not enough space.  They are though very welcome to attend the lunch afterwards in Wax Chandlers Hall.
