We are delighted to announce that the 14th Annual Patronal Festival will take place on Saturday, 26th April 2025, at the Manor Road Masonic Centre, Manor Road, Chatham, ME4 6AG, commencing at 6:00 pm. St. George Abadan Lodge is pleased to celebrate St. George’s Day with this special event.
Although St. George’s Day is traditionally observed on 23rd April, the Lodge will hold its celebration on 26th April to allow as many people as possible to join. A Patronal Festival marks the feast day of the patron saint or figure of a community, and for the Lodge, this occasion honours St. George, the patron saint of England.
The evening will feature a formal dinner, followed by entertainment with music from the Marconi Brass Band. As a non-Masonic event, everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fine dining and outstanding music. The night will culminate in a Night at the Proms, making this a memorable celebration of England’s patron saint and the virtues he represents.
