About Freemasonry

Freemasonry is one of the oldest fraternal organisations in the world. Its members, known as Freemasons or Masons, meet in local groups called lodges, where they enjoy friendship and take part in ceremonies that use symbolism to reflect on integrity, respect and service to others.

Who can be a Freemason?

Freemasonry welcomes men from many different backgrounds, communities and beliefs. It is not a religion, and it does not replace one.

What do Freemasons stand for?

Friendship, charity and integrity are at the heart of what Freemasons do. Members are encouraged to be good citizens, to look after their families and communities, and to support those in need.
