Kernow LodgeFest 2026 - a fantastic day out for all ages, bringing together live music, great food, and family-friendly entertainment in support of a vital cause. Taking place at Trebudannon Shed, the festival will feature an exciting lineup including Jailhouse, Spit Roast, The Off Shoots, Kello Hub, Newquay Rowing Club Singers, and Hellrazer DJ, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the day and into the evening.

Alongside the music, there will be a selection of hot food, plus local beers and ciders to enjoy. Families are especially welcome, with free fun fair-style rides included with entry tickets, making it a great day out for children and adults alike.

This year’s event is focused on raising essential funds to replace the roof of the Duke of Cornwall Lodge building. While the fundraising is for the building itself, it plays a vital role in supporting ongoing charitable work across Cornwall. Over the past two years alone, our Lodge has raised over £10,000 for local charities, including Mount Edgecombe Hospice, Mawgan Porth Surf Life Saving Club, Cornwall Air Ambulance, The Oasis Centre and NASRADYAG (an adult social group of volunteers who support social activities for autistic children), with five other Lodges that meet in the building also raising significant funds for their own charitable causes.

By supporting this event, you are helping to protect a space that enables continued fundraising and community support for years to come. Kernow LodgeFest 2026 is set to be a memorable and meaningful day for everyone involved.

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest fraternal organisations, built on integrity, friendship and service. Discover how Duke of Cornwall Lodge in St Columb brings these values to life through tradition, fellowship and charitable work.

Wow - what an evening Saturday night was!

It was a real honour to welcome members of both Cornwall Air Ambulance and Mawgan Porth Surf Life Saving Club to our Ladies Night. Having you there made the evening even more special and reminded us all exactly why we do what we do.

A big thank you as well to members from other Lodges who joined us on the night - your support for Nick and his chosen charities is truly appreciated and helped make the evening such a success.

It was also fitting that we invited the President of Peace & Harmony Lodge, Liam, and his lady Lauren to take to the floor for the first dance of the evening following their recent engagement - big cheers all round!

In the words of our Charity Steward on the night, Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Looking around the room, that spirit was truly alive - from those who save lives in our skies, on our seas, and across our beaches, to everyone whose generosity helps make that lifesaving work possible.

We’re incredibly proud to have raised vital funds for two worthwhile, meaningful, and essential charities right here in Cornwall.

Thank you to everyone who supported the evening - your generosity and community spirit make a real difference.

A truly special day today at our Provincial Grand Lodge of Cornwall meeting. The video captures the retiring procession with everyone proudly singing Trelawny - a wonderful moment and a fitting end to such an important occasion.

Many congratulations to everyone who received promotions today, especially the members of our own Lodge, and a special congratulations to Terry on receiving active rank in the Province. Warm congratulations as well to brethren from lodges across the Province on their thoroughly deserved honours.

It was wonderful to see PGL so full and to witness the impressive procession of light blues. A memorable day for all involved, and one that will stay with us for a long time.
