Sunday 27 September, 10-4 p.m.: Sheep Drive: The Woolmen Sheep Drive and Livery Fair
Southwark Bridge Rd, London EC4R 3TE, United Kingdom
This September, join one of the City of London’s most iconic annual events as the Worshipful Company of Woolmen hosts the 2025 Sheep Drive & Livery Fair, with a special guest leading the flock across Southwark Bridge.
A unique heritage celebration dating back centuries, the Sheep Drive allows over 1,000 Freemen of the City to exercise their historic right to herd sheep across the Thames—once the heart of Britain’s wool trade. It’s a powerful moment that connects countryside traditions with urban life.
The accompanying Livery & Wool Fair is open to all and includes live sheep shearing, rare breeds from Spitalfields City Farm, woollen craft stalls, street food, and demonstrations from some of the UK’s most skilled artisans and wool innovators.
Expect a full day of heritage, textiles, and community joy — all in support of the Woolmen’s Charity, The Innovation in Wool Awards, and The Lord Mayor’s Appeal.
Please note, this is a free event. To reserve your place, simply add a ticket to your cart and complete the checkout process in our shop. No payment details are required.
