The sun shone on our summer spectacular

Home news

The sun shone and the visitors came as we took to our grounds to enjoy another one of our summer spectaculars on Saturday.

As well as the stalls and face painting, the tombola and raffle were also very popular with our visitors. Our Manager Katherine Foley said: “Our local accordionist Jason got us all in the swing with his music and we had a good turnout of relatives – those of residents and team members.

“The younger visitors loved the face painting and our straw-pulling lucky dip and there were some very happy older winners of the ‘Is it full or isn’t it?’ win a bottle of wine game!”

We were very lucky that the sun shone down on us. Everyone enjoyed the delicious barbecue and salads prepared by our kitchen team and the cakes made by friends and families.

Katherine said: “Our residents and team loved having their children and grandchildren around, enjoying the sun and activities, and it really did turn out to be a great family day of fun.”
