An official souvenir programme is produced every year by Illustrated London News. It includes a complete running order of the Show with detailed information about each serial, an interview with the Lord Mayor Elect and a number of in-depth features about the Show ancient and modern. Details of the 2023 programme will be available here in October. 

The programme costs £5. You can buy a copy on the day from our Scout and Guide volunteers, who receive a donation of £1 per copy, or you can order them directly from the ILN shop. Bulk orders are welcome and they make excellent souvenirs of participation in the Show, but don't delay. There will be very few copies left after the Show.

 ILN was the world's first illustrated magazine and printed the world's first colour newspaper. It has been covering and promoting the Lord Mayor's Show for nearly 200 years, and there is no one better qualified to produce our lavish souvenir programme.

Participants in the Show, local businesses and City institutions are also invited to consider the excellent advertising opportunity offered by the Programme. Details and examples can be found in the attached 2023 Media Pack, or you can contact ILN Sales Director Lisa Turner to find out more.
