The Order of Women Freemasons is the oldest and largest masonic organisation for women in the UK and beyond. For over a century women have come to us to practice the craft of building character, guided by Integrity, Friendship, Service and Respect. We exist to help women build character and become the fullest version of themselves. Through shared values, meaningful rituals, lifelong friendships, and service to others, we create a place to grow, belong, and make a difference, for life.
Membership is open to women from all backgrounds, with the organisation focused on empowering its members to be the best versions of themselves. Freemasonry provides a structured environment in which members can unite around shared values, form lasting friendships, develop personally, and make meaningful contributions to charitable causes.
We warmly welcome enquiries from women who are 21 years of age and older, of any race or faith, of good character and believe in a Supreme Being.
