BOURNEMOUTH • BROCKENHURST • CHRISTCHURCH • LYMINGTON • NEW MILTON • RINGWOOD
The South West Area is one of 6 areas in the Province of Hampshire and Isle of Wight. There are 37 Lodges which meet in one of the 6 centres which are in Bournemouth, Christchurch, New Milton, Ringwood, Lymington and Brockenhurst. There are currently 1300 members that meet in those centres, some in more than one.
We are a unique members’ organisation that has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant and respectful and actively to fulfil our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet together, and form lifelong friendships.
With over 9,000 Freemasons in Hampshire and Isle of wight, there is a lot to discover about one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations.
Please do get in touch if you are a non-mason and want to find out more.
