Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Local Children sing carols at Hugh Myddelton
Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the nursery children led by Anna Mardapittas to come and sing Christmas Carols.
We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community here. Singing Christmas Carols is such a lovely tradition and we are so glad we could invite our little friends and neighbours to sing our favourite songs together.
Also, a BIG THANK YOU to Anna & children for the lovely Christmas hamper they brought for residents and staff!
Christmas Day at High Myddelton House
Hugh Myddelton Care Home residents and staff enjoyed wonderful Christmas party.
The home was festively decorated, we had seasonal food and drinks for everyone. We organised a special party with musical entertainments by Ian Hardman and Pete Morton.
Reindeer Visit
Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton House had a wonderful time learning about the very friendly reindeers from “Performing Pets”, finding out about their habits and what they like to eat. Several of the residents got to feed the reindeers some of their favourite treats. Reindeers are natural foragers and would normally eat moss, ferns, grasses and leaves so a carrot is a rare treat for reindeer in the wild.
The Donkey Sanctuary - Virtual Tour
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Hugh Myddelton House care home in Southgate were treated to a virtual tour of The Donkey Sanctuary Manchester, hosted by Centre Manager, Melanie McComb.
Melanie says: “It was wonderful to be able to show the Barchester residents around the Donkey Sanctuary here in Manchester and to share the work we do. We were so happy to be able to show the residents our wonderful donkeys and talk about how we rescue and care for them.”
Hugh Myddelton House Celebrates King Charles' Birthday
Residents and Staff marked the King’s birthday on November 14th with a right royal tea party.
Residents took part in a variety of royal–themed events including a Royal-themed quiz, watching virtual tours of royal palaces and watching old clips of royal tours and occasions.
Happy 30th Anniversary to Barchester!
Here at Hugh Myddelton House we threw a special party to celebrate this milestone in style. We organised a fantastic Afternoon tea and live concert with Ian Hardman to celebrate our residents, their families and friends, and our hard-working staff members. Our talented chef prepared delicious sweet and savoury treats and refreshing drinks for all to enjoy.
