The smiles say it all! The Warwickshire Royal Ark Mariner Festival 2026 was a tremendous success, bringing together Companions from across the Province for a memorable day of friendship, laughter and excellent ritual. Held as part of the Thomas Arthur Wood Lodge meeting at the historic Guys Cliffe Masonic Centre on Monday, 27 July 2026, the Festival once again demonstrated the unique camaraderie that makes the Royal Ark Mariner Degree so special.

The meeting was conducted in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with members and visitors alike enjoying an occasion that combined quality ceremonial work with the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones. The Festival has become a highlight of the Warwickshire Royal Ark Mariner calendar, and this year’s event certainly lived up to expectations.

Following the meeting, everyone gathered to enjoy a superb festive board, where conversation, laughter and good humour continued long into the afternoon. The spirit of fellowship was evident throughout the day, reflecting the strength and enthusiasm of Royal Ark Mariner Masonry within Warwickshire.

Our sincere thanks go to the officers and members of Thomas Arthur Wood Lodge for their hard work in organising such an enjoyable occasion, ensuring that the Warwickshire Royal Ark Mariner Festival 2026 will be remembered by all who attended as another outstanding success.
