Worshipful Company of Carmen - Cart Marking

Please Save the Date

Cart Marking showcases a truly unique collection of transport dating from the horse and cart to the latest, cleanest, greenest, and safest in use today.

The regulation of carts dates back over 750 years to the early days of the City, with the ceremony of Cart Marking evolving over time.

Today we bring all that history back to life with a modern twist at our annual event, held each July.

You will see handcarts, horses and carts, horse-drawn carriages, steam engines, military vehicles and motorcycles together with historic, vintage and specialist vehicles including the latest, powered by electricity and hydrogen, on display.

The vehicles make their way to Guildhall Yard where they are greeted by the Lord Mayor of London, the Masters of not one but two City of London Livery companies and the Keeper of Guildhall Yard, all wearing their official robes and insignia.

As each vehicle is presented for marking, a commentator tells us about its history and relevance today.

You can view the Cart Marking ceremony on our YouTube channel using this link https://youtu.be/X-gfeKUIzl8

There are opporutnities to watch the event live and this is free of charge.

For those of you who would like to join the Master later in the Guildhall for lunch there will be tickets available and bookings will be taken later in the New Year
