Palatine Chapter No. 2447 – Triple Exaltation at Salford Masonic Hall, Thursday 23rd April
2026-04-23 18:00 - 21:00 | Salford Masonic Hall, 41-42, Crescent,, Salford, M5 4PE, United Kingdom
Palatine Chapter No. 2447 is a Chapter with a distinctive purpose. Formed through the Universities Scheme and bringing together Companions from both East and West Lancashire, it was created to inspire, develop, and showcase Royal Arch Masonry at its very best.
With a strong focus on progression, collaboration and high-quality delivery, the Chapter has built a reputation for ceremonies that are both engaging and memorable, reflecting the energy and future of the Royal Arch.
On Thursday, 23rd April, that reputation comes to Salford, as Palatine Chapter hosts a Triple Exaltation at Salford Masonic Hall, Hemsley House.
This is more than a ceremony. It is an opportunity to experience a Chapter that leads by example, while celebrating the Exaltation of Salford Masons in their own home. Hosting this event at Salford Masonic Hall, will strengthen the spirit of Royal Arch Masonry locally and create an occasion that will be shared across the wider Provinces.
This meeting also offers a valuable opportunity for Companions to observe a chapter delivering a ceremony involving multiple candidates, providing insight, ideas and confidence that can be taken back into our own Chapters.
It is equally an excellent occasion to introduce prospective candidates to the Royal Arch, allowing them to experience the warmth of the social board, helping to bring the Order to life in a meaningful and engaging way.
Whether you are supporting candidates, catching up with Companions, or simply enjoying the occasion, we encourage early booking to ensure you don’t miss out on what promises to be a memorable and uplifting evening. To book head to https://royalarchnews.com/
