Each December, our Annual Carol Service is celebrated at the nearby Beauchief Abbey https://beauchiefabbey.org.uk/, a superb place of worship, which dates back to 1176. After our service, we adjourn to the nearby Dore Masonic Hall for suitable refreshments, and entertainment for the children, each of whom receive a Christmas gift from members of the Lodge.
