Mayor of Tamworth

Tamworth has a mayor and a deputy who are elected each year by councillors at the annual council meeting in May.

With a history dating back to 1835, the Tamworth mayoralty in its current form is steeped in history and the mayor making ceremony includes many traditions.

The mayor of Tamworth is the town’s first citizen and ambassador and represents the town at various events throughout the year. It is a ceremonial, politically impartial, role.

Inviting the mayor to events and functions

A key part of the mayoralty is to get out and about in Tamworth, meeting the charities, groups, businesses, schools and individuals who make the town such a great place to live.

If you’d like to invite the mayor to an event, please fill in this mayoral briefing form and email MayorsDiary-@tamworth.gov.uk. You can call 07583 557265 for more information.

Between them, the mayor and their deputy can attend hundreds of functions and are often very busy. Please give us as much notice as you can to invite them to an event – we need at least three weeks, but the more notice you can give, the higher the chance they will be able to attend.
