Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home



Hetty's 105th Birthday
It was an incredibly special day at the home as we celebrated Hetty’s remarkable 105th birthday. Surrounded by her loved ones, fellow residents, and our devoted team, Hetty enjoyed a joyful day full of smiles, laughter, and surprises—including a special visit from the Mayor of Boroughbridge, Councillor Pauline Phillips, who spent time with Hetty and her family to mark the occasion.
Following our recent appeal to gather 105 birthday cards, we were truly moved by the outpouring of kindness from the community—a phenomenal 167 cards were received! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who sent Hetty a card. She and her family were deeply touched by your thoughtfulness.

We do Like to be Beside the Seaside
We enjoyed a fun-filled day with a seaside theme.
Our activities included crabbing, singing, and playing catch with beach balls, all accompanied by a selection of seaside-themed snacks. Ice cream was a particular favourite!
It was a fabulous day full of laughter, enjoyed by everyone involved.



Fundraising Fashion Show
Residents and guests at the home were treated to a stylish morning as the home hosted a fabulous fundraising fashion show — all in support of Action for Children.
The event featured a special appearance by Miss York 2025, Marcie Reid, who delighted the audience with her pageant routine before taking to the catwalk. Marcie, who is an ambassador for Action for Children, helped raise £87 on the day for the charity.
She was joined on the runway by members of the care home team, but the biggest cheers were reserved for resident Audrey and her daughter Karen, who wowed the crowd with their heart-warming appearance on the catwalk.

Dementia Action Week
Local groups, Staff, residents and relatives came together at the home to raise funds and to launch ‘Dementia Action Week’.
Boroughbridge Manor welcomed event organisers Amy and Sian from Dementia Forward and also Victoria and Elise from Helping Hands in Knaresborough as they came together for a fundraising coffee morning, raising funds and awareness for the Dementia Forward Group.
Dementia Forward’s theme for the week is ‘don’t keep dementia under your hat’. With this the homes residents and guests sported an array of dazzling headwear.

VE-Day 80 Celebrations
We’ve certainly had a fantastic time celebrating VE Day with uplifting wartime entertainment by the talented Rebekah Austin!
Flags were flying, hands were clapping and feet tapping Followed by a delicious street party lunch lovingly prepared by our fabulous kitchen team!
Everyone had a wonderful time! A truly memorable day.
Let’s take a moment to raise a toast to the brave soldiers who fought for our freedom. Today, we honour their sacrifice and celebrate the spirit of VE Day


Cinco de Mayo
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with colourful crafts and a fiesta-themed afternoon at the Boroughbridge Arms!
We ceased the opportunity to hang bunting, shake our maracas, wear sombreros and enjoy Mariachi music, along with a delicious Mexican lunch courtesy of Head Chef Karen.
Nachos, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa were devoured this afternoon followed by margaritas and tequila, further adding to the merriment. A fun-filled day with friends and delicious food.
