Activities at Ashlar House Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

National Allotment Week
We are celebrating National Allotment Week, which is taking place from 8-14 August. Founded by the National Allotment Society in 2002, National Allotment Week is a way of raising awareness about allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships and bolster communities. The theme for this year’s National Allotment Week is Bugs, Bees and Broccoli and acknowledges the importance of gardening with nature in mind. Our residents had lots of fun whilst visiting our local garden centre in preparation of the week. There were smiles and laughter all around as everyone admired the beautiful gardens and flowers. A fantastic time was had by all.
Women's Football
Several hours of our residents made the effort to dress for the occasion whilst even those that don’t enjoy football got into the spirit. You could feel the energy when England scored in the first half. You could cut the tension when Germany equalised in the second half, an electric finish in extra time was celebrated by all at Ashlar house. That’s enough punditry from us, we’ve all earned a well-deserved rest as we catch our breath!
An Afternoon at the Opera
We had a fabulous time with the talented soprano Astrid Joos from Street Theatre. Astrid spoke about a selection of famous operas and our residents were treated to performances of wonderful arias from operas well-known to all, such as ‘Giuditta’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’. It was a lovely experience, truly enjoyed by all.
Wine and Cheese Tasting
National Wine and Cheese Day is a date that celebrates the ultimate pairing of cheese and wine. In recognition of the day, we hosted an elegant cheese and wine tasting experience in the evening whilst enjoying our digital Oomph on Demand interactive activities. A wide variety of wines were made available to our residents along with a delicious selection of local cheeses. Candles were lit and lovely music was playing in the background, the atmosphere at the home was indeed fantastic.
