Commencing at 2pm, the Consecration ceremony will take place in the awe-inspiring Grand Temple, a place steeped in Masonic tradition and history. This solemn event will mark the birth of the Essex Cornerstone Chapter, setting the foundation for an exciting journey ahead.

The Drinks Reception

Following the solemn and momentous occasion of the Cornerstone Chapter consecration at Freemasons Hall, anticipation shifts to the enchanting drinks reception set in the historic vestibule. As attendees mingle in this distinguished space, the air is filled with a sense of camaraderie and shared reverence for the traditions upheld within the Masonic community. The vestibule, adorned with symbolic emblems and bathed in the soft glow of ambient lighting, becomes a nexus for fraternal connections and meaningful conversations. Against this backdrop, members and guests clink glasses, toasting to the new chapter and the bonds that unite them. The drinks reception serves not only as a celebration but as a continuation of the shared journey embarked upon within the hallowed halls of Freemasons Hall, fostering a sense of unity and fellowship that extends beyond the consecration ceremony itself.
