About the Lodge

After fifty years, the Lodge is still healthy with an active, enthusiastic and caring membership. Our ceremonies are sincere and dignified without being regimental, typifying all the good aspects of Freemasonry.

Diversity in membership is important to Clumber Lodge, it really benefits from having a group of people with a wide range of different personalities, skills, and qualities.
Today, we have over twenty active members, aged from their early twenties to their late eighties and strives to provide its members with the opportunity to embark on an amazing life-long journey of learning and self-discovery. The average age of our membership is 52 years.
We ensure that all our new members are made to feel welcome, have all their questions answered and to help sow the seed for each new member to have a long, happy and enjoyable association with Freemasonry.

The first meeting of the year is held on the fourth Friday of February at 5.00pm at the Mansfield Masonic Hall. The five subsequent regular meetings are held on the fourth Friday of March, April, September, October and November each year at 6.00pm (for memory, the first letter of each month spells F MASON). Each meeting is followed by a meal. This is a great opportunity to mix less formally with members of the Lodge and also with visiting members from Lodges across the county and other regions.

We have a rehearsal on the Tuesday before the meeting and a practice on the Tuesday previous to that, both at 7pm.

The social side of Clumber Lodge is undoubtedly enjoyed by all, including our families. As a member of our Lodge, you can enjoy a sense of trust and the benefits of a special network of friends. We have a varied diary of social events that can change each year with anything from a quiz night, BBQs,charity golf weekends, summer drink nights to formal ‘black tie’ evening. There are also several members who enjoy different past times like golf, fishing, local radio, caravanning, music and power lifting gym attendance.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of Freemasonry is visiting other Lodges and getting involved in their traditions and hospitality. This widens your social network and new friends are easily made. Clumber Lodge actively encourage members to visit other Lodges and invites members of other Lodges to visit Clumber.
The Lodge has strong connections with the Byron Club, which is a social group for new and young Masons, and helps members develop a wider circle of Masonic friends.


The opportunity to give time and / or money to a wide range of charitable organisations is a strong reason for many becoming a Freemason.
