350th Anniversary of the Great Fire of London: Lecture and Reception

2016 marks the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London, one of the most well-known events in British history. The fire devastated the City and led to its almost total reconstruction. The Culture, Heritage and Libraries Department, the Barbican Centre and the Museum of London, in consultation with creative events management company Artichoke, have planned a number of activities, exhibitions, walks and talks to take place throughout the City to coincide with this anniversary.

It was therefore recommended that hospitality be granted for a lecture and reception to mark the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire, with arrangements to be made under the auspices of the Hospitality Working Party; the costs to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved parameters.

This would be a Committee event.

Resolved – That hospitality be granted and that the arrangements be made under the auspices of the Hospitality Working Party; the costs to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.
