Are you going to a wedding and struggling to find a gift for the bride and groom?

Give us a call and we can send our ‘lucky sweep’ along to bless the union with good luck. Registered with the Guild of Master Sweeps you’ll be getting the genuine article, a working chimney sweep! Please book early to avoid disappointment.

This tradition is at least 200 years old and was started when a London Chimney Sweep saved the life of King George 2nd. The Sweep was the only person brave enough to jump forward and pull on the reins of the horses when they bolted as the King sat in his carriage, thus saving his life.

The King made an announcement by Royal Decree declaring that all Chimney Sweeps are good luck bearers and must be from thereon treated with respect.

To this day Chimney Sweeps are still considered Lucky and are invited to attend Weddings to kiss the Bride.

Even Queen Elizabeth had a visit from a chimney sweep on her wedding day!

Did you know that sweeps are traditionally illustrated wearing top hat and tails as they were so poor that their clothes were cast offs from local undertakers?

If you want to book our lucky sweep, he will:

  • greet and kiss the bride and shake the groom’s hand.
  • appear on photographs
  • present the newly weds with a bottle of champagne for good luck
  • issue them with a certificate

Lucky Sweeps prices start at £80
