To all Freemen of the City of London…

The Worshipful Company of Woolmen will be organising a Sheep Drive across London Bridge this year.

For a donation of £50, a City of London freeman can exercise the ancient right to take sheep across London Bridge.

And we less free men can watch them do it.

Participants will each drive their sheep a quarter of the length of the bridge, and the sheep drive takes place each hour on Sunday 27th September between 10am-4pm.

Proceeds will be divided between the Lord Mayor’s Appeal and The Worshipful Company of Woolmen’s charitable trust.

Expect around 20 sheep, and based on last time this was done, at least 600 freemen to herd them back and forth.
