Goulburn Lodge

Named after a significant Masonic figure, the Goulburn Lodge maintains the strongest associations with the building's Freemason history. This is the room to book when Masonic heritage matters—original features survive here that no restoration could recreate.

Standout Elements

That chequerboard floor and Eye of Providence ceiling combine to create a genuinely singular event space. No other Manchester venue offers authentic Masonic Lodge architecture as an event backdrop.

Event Suitability

The room's distinctive character makes it ideal for conferences, exhibitions, and product launches where a unique backdrop is essential. Film productions and photographers book it specifically for the Masonic features. Wedding couples seeking historic authenticity find ceremonial significance in a room where Masonic ceremonies were actually held.

Architectural Character

Original chequerboard flooring—the traditional black-and-white Masonic pattern—covers the floor. Wood panelling with built-in seating runs along each wall, preserving the room's original Lodge configuration. Above, intricate plasterwork incorporates the "All-Seeing Eye of Providence" (also known as the Eye of Providence)—perhaps the most recognisable Masonic symbol—into the ceiling design.
