A group of Instagrammers explored the secrets of the Masonic Hall in the latest Instameet Preston.

The building’s history and tradition made for an interesting subject as people snapped away and shared images using #InstameetPreston.

One attendee, David, aka @scrappynw, said: “It was great to see the inside of another Preston building on one of the Instagram meets organised by Blog Preston.

“Only ever seeing the outside of the Masonic Hall before, I never expected it to be as interesting meet as it was. It was great to hear about the history of the Freemasons and see some of their collection of ritual artefacts.

“The people who showed us around were very informative and debunked some of the myths about the Masons. Altogether it was a great meet up and good to see some new faces.”

Mason of 20 years David Parker showed attendees around the venue.

David said: “It was a delight to host the InstaMeet Preston at Preston Masonic Hall.

“It was a great opportunity for us to put some myths to bed and talk about the great imagery and history around Freemsonry in the Lodge and Chapter Rooms. It was a pleasure to explain to and answer questions from a great group of really interested visitors.”

The Masonic Hall is taking part in the Heritage Open Days later this year on Saturday 10 September. The Ballroom will be turned over to local photographers to create an exhibition. Any photographer who wants to exhibit their work should contact David at david.parker90@btinternet.com.
