Welcome to the province of Bristol website

Under the United Grand Lodge of England, freemasonry is the UK's largest, secular fraternal and charitable organisation. It has over 300,000 members working in nearly 8,000 lodges throughout England and Wales, and over 30,000 more members overseas.

Founded in 1786 and with over 1,200 members, the Province of Bristol is a relatively small province. However, with its strong history, unique ceremonies and charitable donations, the Province of Bristol holds a unique place in masonry.

Freemasons Hall - Covid Protocols

Dear Brethren,

As you know, the Prime Minister removed a number of Covid restrictions with effect from 19th July.

Whilst these changes are welcome, the safety and health of our members, guests and staff remain an absolute priority.

To that end, we would ask that you support the protocols we will have in place until 30th September. These measures will hopefully allay any concerns that members may still have and therefore encourage them to visit Freemasons’ Hall, Park Street, once again.
