Activities at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Panto Time oh no its not!
What a side splitting, jaw aching fun time everyone had. When Rah Rah Theatre company paid a visit. Residents were treated to a great and unique performance of Jack and the Beanstalk. Everyone is already looking forward to next years visit.
Laleham School Choir visit
Another day another Christmas carol performance. This time from the delightful children at Laleham School. They sang an array of Christmas carols and got everyone joining in singing and tapping their feet.
Fairytale at Christmas
Residents were transported back in time with a wonderful tale of Christmas. Andy Copps visited and told the story beautifully. He aptly names it the chestnutters at Christmas too. With props that captured everyone attention it was a lovely event.
Cumnor House Choir
Chestnut Gardens were recently joined by the girls from Cummnor House. They treated residents to a wonderful choir performance all beautifully rehearsed and sang. They came with hampers full of goodies for everyone. We cant wait to have them back again.
Party time
With any excuse to throw a party. Residents and staff had a wonderful afternoon of Champagne and canapes getting ready for the live roll out of the new digital care plan system. Everyone was treated to a smorgasbord of treats and sweets.
The Bar is Open
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of live music and their favourite tipple. Staff asked everyone what their favourite drink was when visiting the pub. Then it came to life. With drinks ranging from Beer, to wine and others in between. With Mary requesting a good old fashioned snowball.
