Royal Sussex Lodge formed in 1814 in Portsmouth and initially met in Taverns in the City and in 2014 Celebrated 200 years of Freemasonry.​

 

We are an active Masonic Lodge of over 40 members. We come from all walks of life with a wide age range and varied occupations. We meet 8 times a year at the Purbrook Centre in Waterlooville having moved there in 2013 from Portsmouth.​

 

Our meetings usually start at 6.00 PM and afterwards together with a communal meal (‘called a festive board’) and concludes sometime around 9.30PM. Our meetings are Masonic ceremonies based upon ancient stonemasons’ workings. During the Festive board we have a raffle and all monies go to Charity which is an important part of Free Masonry.

​

We are told by our Visitors that we are a very welcoming and enjoyable Lodge to visit and we intend to keep that ethos of having fun and supporting the local community as our priority.

 

From our foundation in 1814 we have had a close relationship with the Lodge of Union who are based in Chichester and our Worshipful Master (in year) is an honorary member of that Lodge. We also have close relations with our Daughter Lodges in the Portsmouth area.
