Members' Private Evening Visit to the College of Arms

Proving incredibly popular last year, we once again invite members to join us for an exclusive evening at the College of Arms – the official heraldic authority for the United Kingdom, responsible for the granting of coats of arms, flags and ceremonial symbols.

Located in a 17th-century building on Queen Victoria Street, the College is a unique City institution with archives going back to the 14th century.

Our visit will be led by the Somerset Herald - Mark Scott - who will regale the group with the history of heraldry, the ceremonial role of the heralds, and the architecture of the building while guests enjoy a glass of wine or soft drink. There will be an opportunity to explore the records in the historic archive, before mingling over more drinks and a buffet supper with fellow members.

The visit will conclude at approximately 8:45pm

Why you should attend:

• Access a hidden gem: Explore a unique national institution, located in the heart of the City and not normally open to members of the public

• Discover heraldry: Learn about coats of arms and the heralds role in important ceremonial state occasions

• Connect with peers: Enjoy drinks, supper and a conversation with others in the industry
