Celebrating life at Barchester

Residents and families enjoyed a delightful experience with Tracy, from Craft ‘n ‘ Beats as they crafted personalises Lanterns.

Participant’s selected their desired artwork to feature on the lanterns and followed Tracy’s step by step guidance to bring their creation to life.

Her vibrant energy and enthusiasm inspired the crafters to join in, even the slightly hesitant ones. This resulted in creating some stunning Lanterns.  

Day's out are one residents favorite activities. 
We took advantage off the good weather to take the residents on a trip to visit Florence Park making the most of the sunshine and spending time together. 
The residents absolutely loved being on the wheelchair accessible swing, so many smiles and laughter! 
We also treated ourselves to some lovely refreshments  and ice cream. A delicious cuppa tea and a latte went down a treat! It really was a beautiful outing, filled with smiles, laughter and lovely memories, we will definitely be back again.

This month we celebrated Gerry and Babs’s incredible 70th wedding anniversary – a Platinum Anniversary! 

What an amazing milestone. Seventy years of love, commitment and memories together is something truly special. In fact, it’s such a rare achievement that you can’t even find a card with a “70” on it in the shops!

A special moment was watching Gerry read the congratulatory card from His Majesty The King and Queen Camilla, a wonderful keepsake to mark such an extraordinary occasion.

A huge congratulations to Gerry and Babs on this remarkable milestone. Wishing you both continued happiness and many more treasured moments together.
