A lodge meeting in Redhill
Chipstead Lodge No. 5463 is a Freemasons lodge in the Province of Surrey, under the United Grand Lodge of England. We meet four times a year at the Nutfield Centre, Nutfield Road, Redhill, Surrey RH1 4ED.
We welcome enquiries from Redhill, Reigate, Horley, Caterham, Coulsdon and surrounding towns and villages. You do not need to know a member. Start by deciding whether the location, meeting pattern and costs would fit into your life.
Is the location convenient for you?
Redhill is the location for regular lodge meetings. Horley hosts practice evenings. If you live or work in Reigate, Caterham, Coulsdon, Banstead, Nutfield or elsewhere nearby, check the route you would actually take on a meeting evening.
Plan your route to the Nutfield Centre. If you need information about arrival, parking or access, ask Ben to confirm the arrangements with you before a visit.

Why Chipstead Lodge meets in Redhill
The lodge's name comes from its founding connection with Chipstead Golf Club. It was consecrated in 1934 and has met at the Nutfield Centre since 1987. You can read about the lodge and its founding story.
Today, the practical pattern is four regular meetings a year, with the ceremonial work followed by dinner. Around £300 per year, includes meals; there are additional first-year costs. Ben Rogers, Membership Officer, replies to enquiries within 48 hours.

Other Surrey Freemasons resources
If you are exploring more broadly, two further resources are worth knowing about:
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Surrey at surreyfreemasons.org.uk coordinates Freemasonry across the whole county and lists lodges, charitable activity, and Provincial events.
The United Grand Lodge of England at ugle.org.uk is the national body. UGLE publishes overviews of what Freemasonry is, a directory of Provinces, and information for prospective members.
If you live in Surrey but a different part of the county (Guildford, Woking, Kingston, Epsom, Dorking), the Provincial site is the right way to find a lodge geographically closer to you. If Redhill, Reigate or Horley are convenient, we are the right starting point.
