Special interest Lodges Profiles

Ad Astra Lodge 6451 is Berkshire’s first, sci fi and fantasy themed specialist interest Lodge and one of only two in the UK to offer a sci-fi and fantasy themed Lodge for new and existing fFreemasons who are fellow fans of the genres. Our mission is to conduct Ceremonies of the highest standard but all with fun and engaging sci fi and fantasy quirks.

Aedificandum (Latin for ‘That which needs to be built’), consecrated in January 2017, and is a Lodge for those who work or have worked in the construction industry.

From the outset the founders aimed for ‘ Grass roots Masonry ‘. For the first 6 years the Lodge held it’s meetings in private rooms at Licenced premises in Droitwich which sadly became unavailable before moving to our current home at Shrawley Village Hall, where we set up and dismantle the Lodge room at every meeting, as Lodges did ‘in the old days’. General meeting are preceded by a Buffet allowing the meeting to open late so all can attend.

African Diaspora Lodge No. 10046 was consecrated in September 2023 and is located at Cole Court, Twickenham. The purpose of the Lodge is to promote African culture through work with local communities, build strong communal bonds through volunteering and support charitable causes through fundraising and brand awareness. 

We regularly explore culture through different cuisines and travel within the African continent and rest of the world. All our meetings are fun and games with the penultimate being that of April which has a live Soprano performance.

All new members are admonished to adhere to our Swahili Lodge motto; UMOJA KWA HUDUMA which means UNITY FOR SERVICE, by devoting their future to the good of their fellows and the good of all mankind.

The Lodge had planned to surrender it’s warrant and a rescue team was established to enable the warrant to be preserved, the “re-founding” members have agreed that the best way to secure the future of the Lodge is to re-purpose it as a “Fishing” Lodge as angling for coarse fish was the most popular activity for the nation’s anglers, accounting for 19 million days of fishing with carp the most sought after species with an estimated 7 million days fishing time. Game anglers spent 1.6 million days fishing for salmon and trout. It necessarily follows that there is a huge opportunity to bring together established Freemasons who enjoy Fishing and of course to encourage fisherman who would be new to Freemasonry and could be the catalyst to bringing new men to the fraternity. 

Our Charitable endeavours will naturally be to support the East Kent Masonic Fishing Charity, either financially or through volunteered hours from our members.

This is a great opportunity for established Freemasons with an interest in fishing, to help shape the new future of Beamish Lodge and for newly initiated Freemasons, to join the Fraternity with an underlying theme of a sport or way of life they already enjoy. Once Initiated, the opportunities for Masonic development are endless and the charitable intentions will make for a truly heart-warming feeling.

Blue Lamp Lodge  was Warranted on the 12th March 2008 and Consecrated on 28th May 2009.  There were 20 Founders and 8 Original Joining Members. The Lodge was formed to allow Police colleagues, old and new, to meet under a Masonic context and share standards and values previously enjoyed as Police Officers. The Lodge does not initiate new members but joining members must belong to another Craft Lodge, therefore not diminishing other lodges in the Province. 

An Anglo-Italian Lodge dedicated to celebrating all that is good within the local “native” British and “immigrant” Italian communities. Cementing the good relationships held and maintaining a mutual respect and understanding. Named for and after the great Unifier of Italy, himself, in his time, Grand Master of The Grand Orient of Italy and a visitor to Bedford in 1864. 

A transformation has taken place at Broomfield Lodge no. 4411, with eleven new members joining (or being initiated) in the past year and a renewed focus and interest  - Freemasonry in general and Rum in particular!  We have started something very special – a stunning cocktail of ritual excellence (Taylors or Emulation, take your pick) and rum-based drinks.  So, whether you like it neat, over ice, in a mojito or a dark & stormy, come along, receive true hospitality among the Brethren of Broomfield Lodge and experience the synergy that Freemasonry and rum brings!

The Buckinghamshire Classic Car Lodge was consecrated on Monday, 22nd May 2017. The Special Interest Lodge was formed to appeal to all those with an interest in classic cars, both antique and relatively modern. We have had many joining members from other UGLE Lodges and several Initiates entering the Craft for the first time with similar interests. 

Buckinghamshire Motorcycle Lodge 9926 was established in 2016 and is based at Beaconsfield Masonic Centre. We are an active Lodge with  Brothers of all ages who have a passion for motorcycles.
