The Kent Club: President’s Dinner 12th June

One of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals…

The lodge has held several social events such as witnessing the Tower of London Keys ceremony a lady’s festival at a hotel usually outside of London that provides opportunity for our families to enjoy the company that these types of events provide. Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

Delve into the rich traditions of Freemasonry as we gather to celebrate our shared values and principles

WHERE WE MEET

Our meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of March, June, September and December, at 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. they usually start at 11am thus providing members ample time to travel to London to join the meetings.  The June meeting is the installation meeting.

The Parachute Regiment Lodge was consecrated on 5th June 1989. Though named for our Regiment the decision was taken not to restrict membership to serving or former members, though the majority do fit that criteria. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of military, security and civilian backgrounds who all adopt our ethos, to be the best in all that we do…

Engage in enlightening discussions, partake in meaningful rituals, and forge lasting connections with fellow brethren

Within the vibrant community of London Freemasons, the Kent Club has established itself as a welcoming and engaging social hub for members who value fellowship, tradition, and shared experiences beyond the Lodge room.

Bringing together Freemasons from across London and beyond, the club provides an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen the bonds that lie at the heart of Freemasonry. The Kent Club plays an important role in bringing Freemasons together in a social setting, creating opportunities for members to enjoy the lighter and more informal side of the Craft.

It also provides a welcoming platform where members can introduce their immediate family and wider circle of friends to the social side of Freemasonry, helping them better understand the friendships, values and sense of community that define Masonic life.

One of the most anticipated highlights of the year will be the President’s Dinner, to be held at the iconic Houses of Parliament. Following the outstanding success of last year’s event, the dinner promises another memorable evening in one of the country’s most historic and prestigious venues.

Members last year enjoyed a truly unique dining and entertainment experience in this remarkable setting, and the event quickly became one of the standout occasions on the club’s calendar. Building on that success, this year’s President’s Dinner will be open to all members and their partners, offering even more people the chance to share in the experience.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening of fine dining, excellent company, and a distinctive atmosphere that reflects both the heritage of the venue and the spirit of Freemasonry.

The Metropolitan Grand Master, Warren Duke, has kindly agreed to be the Guest of Honour, making the evening an even more special occasion for those attending.

Events such as the President’s Dinner reflect what the Kent Club does best: creating opportunities for Freemasons to come together socially, celebrate their shared values, and enjoy memorable experiences in exceptional surroundings. Those interested in attending or learning more about the Kent Club’s activities are encouraged to visit the London Freemasons Club website for further details and booking information, at: www.londonfreemasons.club.

With a growing reputation for outstanding events and a welcoming atmosphere, the Kent Club continues to play an important role in bringing London Freemasons together – strengthening the ties of friendship that are central to the Masonic journey.
