Hospitality & Concord
About
Lodge of Hospitality & Concord No. 8645 is one of seven Craft Lodges that meet at Branksome Masonic Hall.
Founded in 1975 by a group of Licensed Victuallers, the Lodge was created to suit the needs of those whose
business hours made attending evening meetings difficult. Originally meeting in the afternoon, the Lodge has
since adapted and now meets at 6:00 p.m.
Meeting Schedule
We hold eight meetings each year on the following schedule:
Fourth Tuesday of the month from September to April
Second Wednesday in December (instead of the usual Tuesday)
Learning & Progression
New members are encouraged to attend our monthly Class of Instruction, which offers a friendly and informal
environment for learning and developing within the Craft.
As brethren grow in Freemasonry, many choose to explore the additional Masonic Orders, each offering its
own rich history, symbolism, and opportunities for further engagement.
Our Members
Although the Lodge began with roots in the licensed trade, our membership today is much more diverse. We
welcome men from a wide range of backgrounds, including:
The armed forces
Commercial diving
Printing
Engineering
And many more
Our Ethos
We pride ourselves on being a traditional Lodge with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a forward-thinking
outlook. Whether you’re new to Freemasonry or looking to reconnect, you’ll find a supportive and engaging
home with us.
