Our museum survives thanks to the precious help of an amazing array of volunteers: first of all, we must say an heartfelt THANK YOU to the people that helped/help us maintaining the place up and running.

1. laughter;
2. cups of tea;
3. learning & discovery;
4. meeting new people from all over the planet;
5. doing new things.

I promise you every day is different.

With Heritage Open Days – we have just been recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

31/07/2026

Please celebrate with us the outstanding achievement in the historical field of students Ceyhan Topal (1st prize, photographed) and Matthew Marshall (2nd prize). Congratulations! 🥳

These University of Kent students demonstrated excellence during their academic studies, and were awarded the Dr. Teddy Church Bursary prize. The award was established in memory of Teddy Church, a dedicated GP and Freemason, whose lifelong passion for Kentish history, genealogy and heraldry led him to build an exceptional collection. His family later bequeathed this collection to the Kent Masonic Museum and Library Trust for the benefit of future generations.

Once again, Ceyhan and Matthew: Congratulations! ☺️☺️

This year we're putting on a new exhibition that explores the values and traditions of freemasonry and we'll open our doors to curious minds.🧐

With Canterbury's Medieval Pageant and Trail – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

06/07/2026

What a day we had! During this year Canterbury's Medieval Pageant and Trail we welcomed over 700 visitors, mostly young and curious -our record-breaking number! 🥳🥳

We opened our Temple doors to Ashford Scouts who had great fun practising freemasonry ceremonies, making an exhibition, and visiting our museum!👇see lovely photo below!

Thank you to everyone who visited us, to our amazing volunteers, and to those who were behind the scenes of Canterbury's Medieval mayhem. Can't wait to take part again next year!
