Welcome to Wayfarers Lodge No. 5740
Welcome to the official website of Wayfarers Lodge No. 5740, proudly based in Cosham, Portsmouth.
As one of the area’s most active and welcoming Masonic lodges, we invite you to discover the rich tradition, fellowship, and charitable spirit that define our community.
Who We Are
Founded with a strong military heritage, Wayfarers Lodge has a proud history of service and camaraderie. Under the guidance of our Worshipful Master, WBro Robert P, our lodge brings together around 50 members from a wide range of backgrounds and ages. Here, you’ll find a friendly, supportive environment where lasting friendships are formed and everyone is valued.
Our Values
Freemasonry is built on the timeless principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. We strive to embody these values in all that we do—supporting one another, giving back to our community, and living with honesty and integrity.
Charity and Community
Charity is at the heart of Freemasonry. Through fundraising events, collections, and social gatherings, we support a variety of local and national causes. Since 1980, the Masonic Charitable Foundation has distributed over £100 million in grants, and our lodge is proud to contribute to this legacy of giving.
Social Events
Wayfarers Lodge is more than just meetings—we’re a vibrant social community. Throughout the year, we host a range of events, from golf days to cycle rides, to curry nights , open to members, families, and friends. Many of our events are advertised on local social media pages, so there’s always something to look forward to.

Whether you’re interested in joining, learning more about Freemasonry, or simply curious about what we do, you are always welcome to get in touch or attend one of our events.
