For over 300 years, Freemasonry has welcomed men of good character from every walk of life. Whether you're drawn by a desire for personal growth, lasting friendship, or the chance to make a real difference — the door is open.
Joining Freemasonry is a straightforward and welcoming process. There is no pressure, no obligation, and every step is designed to ensure this is the right fit for you.
Complete the membership form below. A member of the Lodge will be in touch to answer any questions you may have.
You'll be invited to an informal meeting where you can learn more about Freemasonry and get to know some of our members.
If you'd like to proceed, you'll complete a formal application and have a friendly, relaxed interview with two members.
Once approved, you'll be initiated in a meaningful ceremony and welcomed as a brother of the Lodge of Fraternity.
Freemasonry doesn't make good men better — it brings out the best in those who seek to grow.
A guiding principle of Freemasonry
To express your interest in joining Freemasonry, please complete the form. A member or the Secretary of the Lodge will respond to provide further information or arrange an informal meeting.
There is absolutely no obligation at this stage — this is simply the beginning of a conversation.
Your details are kept strictly private and shared only with Lodge officers.
A Lodge representative will typically respond within a few days.
Making an enquiry does not commit you to anything. Explore at your own pace.
Students aged 18+ at Teesside or Durham University are especially welcome.
