People join Freemasonry for many different reasons, some join for the friendships they will make; friendships that last a lifetime and encompass the key milestones in life for better or worse. You will meet people who are different to you, those of different ages with radically different life experiences and interests, drawn together by common experience through Freemasonry.
Our members are, and have been for three centuries, drawn from all walks of life. From Captains of industry and chief executives to manual labourers and forklift truck drivers, so you will find people with a wealth of different outlooks from all races, religions, classes and backgrounds.
There are also those who enjoy the ceremonial aspects. Our meetings consist of centuries old lessons centered around you as an individual. How you live your life, the decisions that you make and how to become a better person are all found within our meetings.
Freemasons are taught to look after those less fortunate than themselves, charity is our lifeblood and many members devote their time and energy to helping those less fortunate than themselves.
We also have a huge amount of fun along the way, we eat, drink and meet together and form lifelong friendships.

In the first instance, if you are interested in becoming a Freemason and you know a family member, friend or colleague who is already a Freemason, then have a chat with them. They will be able to explain some of the workings of Freemasonry and help you find a suitable lodge to join.
If you don’t know anyone who is already a member please get in touch with the membership team by completing the enquiry form and they will be happy to answer any questions you may have and introduce you to a lodge which is suitable to your work / home life situation.
That you have a belief in a Supreme Being, this means that you profess a religious faith. Freemasonry embraces men of differing religions.
It is usual for candidates to be mature men of 18 years and over, regardless of ethnicity, political views or economic standing.
Be of good character.
t varies from lodge to lodge, but anyone wishing to join can most likely find a lodge to suit their finances that meets on a day and time that also suits them.
There is a one-off joining fee on entry and a member also pays an annual subscription to his lodge which covers his membership and the administrative cost of running the lodge.
These amounts will vary between lodges, but on average expect to pay in the region of £50 to £100 for the one-off joining fee and between £100 to £250 per annum for membership.
It is usual to have a meal after the meeting, depending on the lodge you join. which you usually pay separately on the evening.
At our lodge meetings we take a collection for charity. What is given is entirely up to the individual member, but it should always be without detriment to his other responsibilities.
Most lodges will have a dress code which requires that members wear a dark lounge suit, shirt with a white collar, a black tie and black shoes. In time, certain items of regalia will be required, which initially will not be expensive and often there is the opportunity to buy used regalia at a modest cost via other members or the internet.
