Concord Lodge – 757

Who Are We?

Concord Lodge was consecrated in Bombay, India, on 19th February 1859, regularly meeting there from its foundation in 1858 until transferring to Audenshaw on 10th June 1969, since when it has met at Stanley House. Members of Concord Lodge take an interest in supporting charitable activities. Freemasons in The Province of East Lancashire are currently raising monies for charity through a festival that runs into 2026. Recently Concord Lodge became a ‘Grand Patron of the East Lancashire 2026 Festival’, having been recognized within the province for contributions made to the festival.

Why Join Us?

Concord Lodge engages in traditional masonic activities and has an ethos that celebrates achievement in public service, contributions to charity and encourages friendship among Freemasons. As most of its Regular meetings and practices take place on Saturday mornings, its meetings are not only convenient for those who are working in 5-day-a-week jobs, but also attractive to those who are retired and would prefer daytime meetings to evening meetings. Furthermore, the Saturday meetings provide a great opportunity to meet Masons from all over the Southern Area and make many new friends.

Moreover, Concord Lodge’s history has seen Freemasons join from a wide range of professions and disciplines, and continues to provide opportunity to widen the range of one’s spectrum of friends.

WHEN WE MEET

Regular meetings are held on the 1st Saturdays of February, March, October, November and December at 10:30am, with the Installation meeting (at which the new Master for the year is installed in his Chair) and the new Officers appointed) is on the 3rd Wednesday in April at 6:00pm.

LODGE INFO

Our Saturday meetings and practices are held after the “Bacon Buttie Club” (BBC) that meets every Saturday morning at Stanley House, which is attended by about fifty or so Southern Area Masons meeting socially. Many of our members arrive early for the meetings to catch up with friends at the BBC.
Being a smaller Lodge, Concord Lodge tends not to hold its own social events, but rather, our members actively support the social functions of other Lodges in Stanley House, which include Ladies Evenings or Weekends, often in Blackpool or Llandudno, and “Old English Nights”. They also support social functions organised by Stanley House, which have included Valentine’s Day, Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties as well as shows by tribute acts and many others.

Recently, one of our members, to celebrate his serving fifty years’ service to Freemasonry, undertook a “Coast to Coast” cycle ride to raise money for the 2026 Festival.
