About the Event
Upholding the tradition of Freemen’s rights, in 2013 the Worshipful Company of Woolmen arranged the first official Sheep Drive for Freemen of the City and their guests to ‘drive’ sheep across the bridge. The event has been so successful that it has continued ever since, with places selling out every year!
Various wool related fairs and activities have taken place alongside the Sheep Drive over the years.
For 2022 the Livery Fair returns to The Monument to the Great Fire of London, one of London’s most outstanding landmarks and visitor attractions, close by to the Sheep Drive on London Bridge.
The Livery Fair is a unique opportunity to be a part of recreating historic community activities that took place on and around London’s bridges.
Whilst being an integral part of the day for supporters of the Sheep Drive, the Livery Fair also enables a number of the City of London liveries – ancient and modern, to showcase to the public what they do and the charitable work they support, with skilled tradespeople conducting interactive demonstrations of their fascinating and ever-evolving trades.
The Livery Fair also brings together a number of specialist stall holders, displaying and selling their wool-based products, textiles, arts and crafts, quality gifts and food & drink.
Other fun activities include expert blade shearing displays and some wonderful rare breed sheep!
