Elmbridge holds four formal meetings per year on Saturdays, each followed by a group dinner. In addition, optional Lodges of Instruction (practice meetings) take place on selected Friday evenings between September and May at 7.30pm and various social events.

Freemasonry is designed to fit around everyday life and members’ level of involvement will often change as their circumstances do.
