The tour will give access to the Masonic Rooms, with senior members on hand, to hear of the symbolism, history and the practice of Freemasonry. There will be likewise a chance to learn more about the Masonic charity work in the local community. Freemasons’ Hall is also home to one of the finest Masonic Museums in the country, with artefacts dating back to the 17th Century.

As the Universities’ Scheme lodge for the University of Leicester, the Lodge attended the Fresh Fair at the University of Leicester Student Union on Monday 30th September 2013.

This was the third year that we have attended and it was yet another busy day handing out nearly 1,000 information booklets. Members of the Lodge, including Tom (Master), Andy (Secretary), and Robert (Director of Ceremonies) and some of our students were there to answer any questions from those students who were interested in finding out more about the Lodge and Freemasonry.

By the end of the day, we had plenty of interest from students who wished to know more about Freemasonry and were keen to join our ancient fraternity.

For those that are interested in finding out more, we are holding a free tour of our Headquarters on London Road, Leicester on Wednesday 6th November at 2.30pm. Please contact us to confirm your place as they are limited.
