FREEMASONRY IN CHESTER-LE-STREET
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ON
Between the live acts, the discos, the tasting nights and the sport, the diary here is fuller than most places twice the size. Most nights are pay on the door, most are priced under a fiver, and none of them need you to be a member. Two minutes from the railway station and the Front Street bus stops.
LIVE ON OUR STAGE
Live Entertainment
Our resident LPC Big Kids Club puts on live acts most weekends. Rock and roll nights running through Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and Ricky Nelson. Elvis tributes. Singers working the 50s and 60s until the dance floor fills.
Interval bingo, a raffle, and a room that actually gets up and dances. Regulars get priority booking before tickets go on general sale.
find the perfect dram
Whisky Tasting Evenings
Over twenty single malts behind the bar, from Speyside and Islay through to Highland, Island, Welsh and English distilleries.
Buy a stamp card at the bar and work through five 25ml drams of your choosing.
Buy as many cards as you like. No lecture, no dress code, no expert standing over you telling you what you should be tasting. Just good whisky and a room full of people trying it..
AFTERNOON AND EVENING
Discos and Soul Nights
70s and 80s day discos that start mid afternoon and run into the evening, and Motown and Soul nights when the room wants something with a bit more groove.
Pay on the door, no ticket needed, and cheap enough that a full afternoon out costs less than a round in town.
AN EVENING WITH
Guest and Sporting Nights
Ticketed evenings with football and sporting names in our function room. A meal, a Q and A, and the chance to meet the guest. These sell out, so watch our page and reserve early.
Why become a mason?
At the heart of Freemasonry are its three grand principles
Brotherly Love
Encourages Masons to show tolerance, respect, and kindness, promoting harmony and unity regardless of differing backgrounds.
Relief
Represents a duty to practice charity and provide assistance to those in distress, including both members and the broader community.
Truth
Challenges members to seek wisdom, continually strive for self-improvement, and uphold high moral and ethical standards.
Testimonials
"Had my 60th birthday party at the Masonic Hall on 11th May, everyone had a fabulous night. Staff were helpful and friendly, great prices on drinks, fantastic atmosphere. The catering was also amazing! I’d strongly recommend as a venue for a function!"
