Common Enquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Membership is open to men of good character, aged 21 or over (18 in some cases), who believe in a Supreme Being. We welcome men from all backgrounds, regardless of race or religion.

No. Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. It requires members to believe in a Supreme Being, but how they worship is their own private matter.

Trafalgar Lodge typically meets once or twice a month. Members are encouraged to attend as often as they can, though we recognise family and work commitments come first.

There is an initiation fee and an annual membership subscription. Additionally, members often donate to charity as they are able and cover the cost of their meals at our formal dinners.
