Celebrating life at Barchester

Our annual Summer Party and BBQ brought more than 140 residents, relatives, friends and local community members together for a fantastic afternoon in the sunshine. With delicious food, live music from local singer Julie Evans, and an exciting reptile encounter from Garwynn and Steph at GRAB (Garwynn's Reptiles And Bugs), there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Residents and visitors of all ages shared laughter, games, music and memorable moments, while the raffle, craft and plant stalls added to the fun.

Days like these create lasting memories, strengthen connections and showcase the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes our home such a special place.

Today at Adlington Manor we came together to raise awareness and show our support for everyone affected by breast cancer.

Our residents, team and visitors enjoyed some delicious treats and refreshments while helping us recognise such an important cause.

A lovely day filled with conversation, kindness and plenty of pink!

We are so lucky to have so many creative residents here at our beautiful home and out of the many activities we do we decided to have an afternoon of flower arranging.

These creative activities always prove to be popular and help with social and cognitive engagement too

Today, our lovely residents made the absolute most of the gorgeous weather by spending the afternoon out in our beautiful gardens.

We officially christened our brand new garden furniture in the best way possible with a spectacular afternoon tea! 
Everything was served in beautiful china cups and teapots, making the afternoon feel extra special.

A massive thank you to our incredibly talented hospitality team for preparing an array of beautiful, tasty treats that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

There is truly nothing better than good food, great company, and fresh air in our own little paradise!

At Newington Court we love nothing more than an a tea party and what between reason that an RBVE (Royal British Veteran's Enterprise) Tommy Tea Party.

Barchester Healthcare are one of the proud sponsors of RBVE Tommy Tea Party for 2025.

We were joined by Kerry Locke from RBVE who spoke to our residents and visiting community members about the importance of the work that RBVE complete in the community with veterans.

The residents and staff at Newington Court are currently in competition with each other.

In the Spring the resident were encouraged to plant Sunflower seeds and care for them to see who can grow them the highest.

The final is in September.....who is going to win??

August's Family Bistro Breakfast Club saw residents and their loved ones sit down together over pancakes, waffles and fresh pastries, with the dining room full of chatter and laughter.

For resident Mike, it was a wonderful morning. Three generations of his family made the trip, grandchildren and all, filling the table and turning breakfast into a proper family gathering rather than just a visit.

Held on the first Thursday of every month from 9am to 11am, the Breakfast Club gives families the chance to spend relaxed, unhurried time with their loved ones over a shared meal, no agenda, just time together.
