We received our Royal Charter in 1514 and we wish future Innholders to celebrate our 600th anniversary in 2114. To achieve this ambition, we must continue to evolve, stay relevant and be sustainable.
Promoting a diverse and inclusive membership is a crucial element of our development. While we value and honour the best of the past, we also embrace change and want to be forward-looking. We expect our members and staff to welcome, value and include all visitors to our Hall irrespective of their background, sex, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, age or disability.
We also apply this standard to consideration of any application to join the Company.

Please note that we use the historic term ‘Freeman’ for our members, but this is inclusive of men and women and we welcome applications from people of any gender.
If you know a member of the Company, please speak to them about becoming a member. Otherwise please contact the Clerk, Rebecca Tomlin on [email protected] in the first instance.
