Freemasonry is open to men aged 18 or over, whatever their race or religion. You do not have to know anyone who is a Mason, and you do not have to be invited.
People join for many reasons: to meet like-minded people, to build confidence, or to support worthy causes. We are not in it for personal gain.
Take the first step
- Read about the lodges that meet in Lewes on the lodges page.
- Choose one or two that sound right and get in touch.
- Meet some of the members for a chat, often at a social event, before you decide anything.
There is no obligation, and you are welcome to ask about more than one lodge.
