The 2027 Festival will be held 2nd/3th July 2027 at the Eastside rooms and Aloft (by Marriott) hotel, Birmingham, a central venue for many.

Friday evening will be a buffet meal where all guests can renew old acquaintances and make some new, there will be entertainment through until 11.00 pm and there are plentiful bars for those who just wish to relax and talk.

Saturday is the big day, during the day there will be a performance by EGO arts (recipients of an MBF grant), before an evening drinks reception and banquet when the total raised will be announced by the Grand Secretary.

It is the hope of the Provincial Grand Master and festival committee that as many brethren from the province will attend along with their partners. To aid this the committee has set up a payment scheme, allowing you to spread the cost over the next 18months. (see separate article).

In conclusion the 2027 MBF festival is the final act of several years of hard work by the brethren of the province, having fun whilst raising funds for charitable causes.

There are just 23 months before the big event, let us all renew our efforts organising and supporting events to raise charitable money, so that around 10.00pm on Saturday 3^rd July 2027 the Grand Secretary will announce a number of which we can all be proud.
