About the Lodge

Carnarvon Lodge meet 6 times a year on the 3rd Monday of October through to December then February through to April.
Our meetings normally start at 6pm, except the October meeting. This a longer meeting therefore begins at 5:30 pm. We meet at the Masonic Hall Goldsmith Street, Nottingham which is convenient for public transport, on the Tram route. The Hall also has a large car park. It has excellent meeting facilities in a splendid building with splendid dining facilities.
Following every meeting, we have a sit down meal which provides an opportunity for the members to meet socially and get to know each other. It is also a time to get to know members of other Lodges who join us at our meetings.
Prior to all meetings, we have rehearsals which currently take place on a Tuesday starting at 8pm. Most members meet socially before at 7:30 pm. All members of the Lodge are encouraged to attend these rehearsals as it will provide an opportunity for members to practice their parts and raise them to a good standard. It is also an ideal opportunity to socialise and meet other members in the bar before and afterwards.
We organise several social events during the year including celebrating Burns Nights. This is open to all members, family and friends plus members of other Lodges.
A Church Service in the Chapel at Newstead Abbey followed by Sunday Lunch at a local pub. The Service is open to all faiths and a talk is sometimes arranged on the Masonic connection to Newstead. Given by the Secretary.
A trip to Scotland in early December for 5 days staying at the Duke of Gordon Hotel in Kingussie, when members from across Nottinghamshire are invited along with their partners and also guests who are not Masons are offered the opportunity to take part in the trip.
