Blackpool Masonic Hall
83-85 Adelaide Street, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY1 4LU
Freemasonry first came to Blackpool in 1847, a year after the railway station was completed in the town. In 1888 a plot of land was purchased in Adelaide Street, Blackpool, for the sum of £1,700. In May 1898 the cornerstone was laid for a Freemasons Hall by the Right Honourable Lord Skelmersdale PGW and on completion in September 1899 the building was also opened by him when he had become Lord Latham and the new Provincial Grand Master.
Today 17 lodges and 6 chapters meet at the hall in Adelaide Street with a membership of around 440 subscribing members. Membership is not restricted in terms of cost or occupation and is open to all men who are over 21 years of age, who share our moral and social values and can afford the modest annual fees. Lodge meetings are held each month, normally between September and May.
In our meetings we learn about Masonic principles and their application in daily life for the betterment of ourselves and society in general. Meetings are followed by a good meal with our friends and guests.
We believe in an ethical approach to life. Our values are based on respect, friendship, integrity and service. Freemasonry also teaches us to care for the less fortunate and help for those in need. Our hall has been updated and modernised to attract a younger membership with their families to use the facilities. However, it still retains its original character and can proudly boast a hidden gem, a particularly magnificent lodge room.
