OUR BACK STORY

Created to be social

Ayton Lodge was founded in 1996 and initially met in the Afton Hall in Ayton School.

Its aims and objectives were to establish a Masonic presence in Great Ayton, to promote friendship between members and their families and to encourage an involvement in the community of Great Ayton and surrounding areas.

In addition to our "Festive Board" dinners, that follow each meeting, this year's social events include a quiz night, a summer barbecue, an autumn "Too early for beaujolais nouveau" evening, a Christmas White Table dinner and our "Ladies Night" dinner and dance.
