What is Freemasonry?
A straightforward introduction for visitors, families and prospective members.
Freemasonry brings people together to build friendships, support communities and encourage personal development.
A social and charitable tradition
Members meet in lodges and take part in ceremonies presented as moral dramas. These encourage reflection on integrity, friendship, respect and service.
What it is not
Freemasonry is not a religion, political organisation or business network.
Why ceremonies are private
Privacy preserves the personal experience of the ceremonies. Members may openly discuss their membership, values and charitable work.
