Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest social and charitable organisations.

There are over 200,000 Freemasons belonging to more than 7,000 Lodges throughout England and Wales, and Districts overseas. Worldwide, the figure rises to six million Freemasons, all with their own special reasons why they enjoy Freemasonry. For some, it’s about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it’s being able to help deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society. But for most, it is simply an enjoyable hobby. Every Freemason has his own reason for joining.

For all Freemasons, there are four important values that help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles remain as true as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.

You do not need to be a mason to look at our site. In fact this site is here for you to get an insight into the social activities that members and their guests enjoy in support of Local, National and International causes.
