Harewood Lodge 5667 meets at the Masonic Hall Westbourne House Otley. We wear dark lounge suits and white gloves for our formal meetings. Harewood (pronounced HARwood) Lodge No 5667 was consecrated in September 1937 and took its name from the then Provincial Grand Master, M W Bro The Earl of Harewood, who later became Grand Master in 1942. From 1937 the Lodge met at the Masonic Hall in Boroughgate, Otley; in 1968 that property was sold, and Harewood Lodge moved to its present home at Westbourne House, which it shares with five other Lodges and various side degrees. The Lodge holds its Regular Meetings at 6.30pm on the fourth Tuesday in each month (lodge meeting dates are available here) except August (closed) and December (3rd Tuesday), and is perhaps unusual these days in meeting for a meal at 6.00pm on all other Tuesdays, after which practice etc takes place. There is an active social programme (but not too active!), some functions being held at Westbourne House and others such as the annual Ladies Festival being held at local hotels; members and friends also enjoy a weekend away in February. The Lodge currently numbers about forty members and would be happy to consider applications from any Brother moving into the area, or from anyone who may be interested in joining Freemasonry. The Masonic Hall at Westbourne House was created from a large private house, and has ample parking. Inside it has a main Temple and a smaller 'practice' Temple, a dining room and separate bar. The Temple can accommodate up to one hundred people, as can the dining room, which is available for private hire.
