The Kent Club
Bro Dave Cole, Club Communications Officer reports
The summer has set, we are back to our Freemasonry once again and here at The Kent Club, we have been enjoying some extraordinary events:
• A special invitation to spend an evening in the Museum of Freemasonry. This was a unique opportunity to visit the museum, in which our members were given an intimate guided tour of the exhibitions and the history of many of the items on display. With display items from 1717 to gifts given by our own Royal Family, the tour was enjoyed by all who attended.
• The Belmont Ensemble of London, sharing The Four Seasons by Candlelight in the Grand Temple of Freemasons’ Hall. Guests were presented with not only the stunning surroundings of the Great Hall but a sublime musical performance by some of London’s finest musicians, conducted by Musical Director, Peter Dyson.
• The 2023 Whisky Show at Old Billingsgate Market. The lucky few who managed to get tickets were given the opportunity to experience 650 different Whiskies, meet the worlds most experienced producers and enthusiasts, experience food pairings and cocktails and even One Dream Dram of whiskys over £500.
• The Wine and Spirits Show at Chelsea Old Town Hall. This event offered our lucky members the chance to enjoy samples of international and boutique wines, spirit brands from across the world, a beer zone and a very well socked G&T bar! Masterclasses jostled alongside food stands to cater to all our needs.
• Crazy Golf. In the heart of the West End just off Oxford Circus, our members and their guests loved the thrills and challenges of trying to beat the Helter Skelter and Big Wheel on the craziest of indoor golf courses.
• And on November 11th, in one of our favourite events, 10 lucky and enthusiastic members got to walk in The Lord Mayors Show, representing London Freemasons. The public always engage with us and we enjoyed the meal at Butchers’ Hall afterwards.
Joining The Kent Club is easy and great value. For just £10 per year, you’ll gain access to these and other fantastic events with our vibrant membership. Whether you’re a seasoned Freemason or new to the Craft, The Kent Club is the perfect place to forge new friendships, indulge in exciting activities and create lasting memories.
