The Ancient Corporation of St. Pancras

Also affectionately known as ‘The Wheelbarrow Club’.

Holding the record for the oldest dining club in Great Britain we are also aregistered charity raising money for local causes.

Established on 4 August 1689 in Chichester, West Sussex, our ancient corporation was originally founded to celebrate the coming of William of Orange to the throne. As a group of like-minded individuals, the corporation gathered regularly for social events, community events & fellowship.

Today, over 337 years later, we still enjoy the same activities. The Corporation is famous locally for its annual dinner, Christmas walk and annual Summer BBQ.

Historically a ‘men-only’ organisation, from 2025 membership is now open to men and women.

Our Patron is His Grace, The Duke of Richmond and Gordon.
