Thinking about joining us? Here is everything you need to know
If you are curious about Freemasonry or about Lodge of Harmony No. 255 specifically, we encourage you to get in touch. There is no obligation, and no question is too basic.
An important principle of Freemasonry is that candidates must come forward entirely of their own free will. We do not canvass for members. However, this does not mean you need to know a Freemason to make an enquiry — anyone is welcome to contact our Membership Officer for an informal conversation.
The lodge has members from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds, and from a variety of nationalities. What we ask is only that prospective members are of good character, are aged 21 or over, and hold a belief in a Supreme Being (of whatever faith or tradition).
Regular lodge meetings on the third Tuesday of January, March, May, and October — running approximately 4–10 pm, including a formal dinner.
Practice evenings on Tuesdays between regular meetings, where members learn and rehearse ceremonial work in a relaxed, supportive setting.
The lodge hosts and participates in social events throughout the year — from informal gatherings to special dinners and community activities.
Members contribute to and participate in charitable fundraising — part of the broader Masonic tradition of supporting those in need.
Becoming a Freemason is a gradual process that unfolds over time through three degrees of the Craft, with no pressure to proceed faster than you are comfortable.
Contact our Membership Officer with any questions — no commitment required. You can attend a meeting as a visitor first if you wish.
