Freemasonry is the one of the world’s oldest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. We welcome new members who live, work or study in Sussex and wish to join our Eastbourne No 7057 Lodge and become a Freemason.

Thinking of becoming a Freemason? The United Grand Lodge of England have produced an excellent leaflet entitled “What’s it all about”, it is designed to explain Freemasonry to anyone thinking of joining.

Why become a Freemason?

Every Freemason has his own reason for joining.  For many, Freemasonry acts as a ‘constant’, providing them with a unique combination of friendship, belonging and structure, with many Freemasons saying they have made valuable lifelong friendships. Above all and for most, Freemasonry is simply an enjoyable hobby. Other reasons include:
• Achievement – progressing through the offices in the Lodge to become Master.
• Brotherhood – making new friends from all walks of life. Charity – contribute to deserving causes, both Masonic and non-Masonic
• Education – learning from peers and mentors by practicing and making speeches.
• Knowledge – finding out about the history and mysteries of Freemasonry.
• Self improvement – making a contribution to your family, society and local community.

Who can become a Freemason? 

Any man who holds a belief in a Supreme Being. All religions are welcome and respected. Normally at least 21 years old, there are special circumstances where those aged 18 years can be considered. You must not have a criminal record.

How much does it cost?

You don’t have to be well-off to become a Freemason. It costs less than you may think and is comparable to other organisations.
