๐Ÿฅ The City BIDs Drummers | ๐Ÿ™Œ Finaleย | ๐Ÿ“… Saturday 19 July 2025

๐Ÿฅ Over 100 drummers played on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral, London on Saturday 19 July at 3.30pm in front of delighted tourists who stopped by to dance and film the performance. Our own City BIDs Drummers took part, joining in for the finale. The day brought all Drum Works drumming groups together and culminated into a day of celebration and fundraising.

๐ŸŽถ The City BIDs Drummers is a collective of people from the local area who took up the opportunity to play with Drum Works from three City BIDs: Cheapside Business Alliance, Culture Mile and Fleet Street Quarter who also funded extra sessions at Holy Sepulchre London.

๐Ÿ“จ The City BIDs Drummers collective is open to anyone who lives or works in the City of London – if you would like to be a part of this group or find out more, please email Sarah Baker, Head of Partnerships & Engagement, Sarah@culturemilebid.co.uk with the subject line – City BIDs Drummers.

๐Ÿค Many thanks to the St Paul’s Cathedral, London chaplaincy team who gave us permission to play on the steps of the cathedral.
