Your Board of Grand Stewards Welcomes You!

Whether you are visiting Freemasons Hall for the first time, or a seasoned veteran, the Grand Festival serves to celebrate in style those Brethren honoured with appointment to, or promotion within Grand Rank.

It aims to be a truly 'Grand' affair and your Board of Grand Stewards, who are nominated each year by the nineteen 'Red Apron' lodges to plan and deliver the Grand Festival, has never lost sight of the significance this day holds for those of you who are attending.

The Grand Investiture Ceremony starts prompty at 3.15pm within the Grand Temple at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, London, and those attending are expected to be in their seats by 2.45pm.  Please see the communications you have received directly from Grand Lodge for further details.

Thereafter, the celebrations continue at The Guildhall.  Doors open at 5.45pm.  A Champagne Reception will ease us into Dinner served at 7.00pm.

Grand Ranks are awarded, not only in recognition of past effort, but also in the expectation that there is much work still to do, but for this night, we warmly invite you to relax, enjoy each others' companionship, the experience, and celebrate your preferment with us.
