Festival 2028
Our Festival 2028 scheme is designed to generate funds for the Festival — the Mason’s nationwide fund raising programme.
Each month we will feature one or two pieces of art or craft work. Should anyone wish to buy it then they simply make an offer by email.
The proceeds will be donated to the Festival
In some cases the cost of materials, such as wood, fabric or framing, may be recovered by the artist from the proceeds of the sale. The remaining funds will be donated to the Festival as above.

Previous sales
In December 2024 we ran the Christmas Auction under the Festival 2028 scheme. This was very successful and raised £100 for the scheme when Bro Evripidis Lampadarois won the auction for one of W Bro Terry Lambert’s landscape paintings. The painting is displayed above, a haunting evocation of Scottish Islands. The full £100 was donated to the festival.
A stunning Masonic themed painting by Edvard Kiurkchian entitled "Light from the East” sold in July for £150. All proceeds to the festival.
