Free FreeAt noon on the penultimate Sunday in September, the vicar of St John's Church appears before his congregation on a horse in the well established St John's tradition known as Horseman's Sunday.
The Reverend Stephen Mason traditionally leads a cavalcade of over 100 horses and riders to the church in order to celebrate horse riding in the heart of London.
The horses gather on the forecourt of the church for a blessing, followed by a ride-past and a presentation of rosettes. Alongside the crowds, live music, children's activities, and carriage rides all add to the festival atmosphere.
The service starts at 10am, with the horse parade at noon.
