Harp and Happiness

Staff and residents at the Braeburn Lodge care home in Market Deeping were treated to an hour in the company of talented harpist, Marian O’Toole.  

Marian delighted the residents at the home by performing all kinds of different pieces, there were classical harp solos, along with a mix of popular songs - everything from the Beatles to Rodgers and Hammerstein.  There was something for everyone, and the residents had a wonderful time singing and clapping along.

Woking History Society

We had such an interesting visit with Dick and Anthony from the Woking History Society here at Weystone Manor this week.

These names will then be shortlisted and chosen by the local community of Woking! Keep your eyes peeled for further updates on this!

Home Fit Out!

We are at the very exciting stage of 'Fit Out' here at Weystone Manor where we get to see the home truly come together.
