Lord Mayor's Show 2012

Published: 13 November 2012

On Saturday 10th November we were proud to take part in the Lord Mayor’s Show, marking the election of Alderman Roger Gifford as the 685th Lord Mayor of the City of London. Over 150 floats took part representing a diverse range of organisations and institutions, including ancient Livery Companies, Army Bands, charities and leading City-based businesses.

For the second year running, our entry was in partnership with the charity Heart n Soul, a creative arts company with learning disability culture at its heart. Our float combined music, dance, video and costumes based around the concept of the Mysterious Universe Party with characters and original music created by the young people taking part.

The day was a huge success, with the mixture of music and movement producing an enthusiastic response from the crowds lining the route of the parade. Everyone taking part had an immensely enjoyable time – a truly unique experience.
