Activities at Ashford House Care Home

Today, residents from Ashford House enjoyed a wonderful visit to Hampton Court Palace for the William and Mary: Palace Gardeners’ experience. Set in the beautiful Clore Learning Centre, the day brought history to life as we explored how William and Mary transformed the palace gardens with elegant parterre de broderie and majestic fountains.
We were treated to serene views of the Privy Garden, once intended as a peaceful retreat for the royal couple and got creative by bringing the outdoors in with a musical soundscape activity.
A truly enriching and memorable outing filled with beauty, learning, and a touch of royal charm!

What a magical day at Ashford House!

Our Alice in Wonderland–themed summer party was a huge success, filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments. We were honoured to be joined by the Mayor of Spelthorne, and it was wonderful to see our lovely residents and their families enjoying the day together. From live music and a freshly cooked BBQ to tombola, raffles, and more—there was something for everyone!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. And hats off to our amazing team for creating such a magical Wonderland right here at Ashford House!
