Activities at Hall Park Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Hall Park Care Home
Historic Royal Palaces
Our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Book Club Corner
Across our services, our residents had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Celebrating World Book Day
Staff and residents at Hall Park care home decided to host a discussion about residents’ favourite books, launch their very own monthly book club and had a audiobook session so everyone could get involved in World Book Day. The staff all came to work dressed up as characters from their favourite books, which all of our residents loved!
Valentine's Day
Residents got involved in card making session, where they enjoyed using a variety of materials to make their own personalised cards and showing their creative skills.
Valentine’s Day would be filled with fun entertainments, including music performance and heart themed activities.
Visitors are welcome to join the activities on 14th of February from 11:00 am for hours of entertainment and delicious treats.
Pancake Day
Hall Park has marked this year’s Pancake Day with pancake race, pancake flipping competition and of course, lots of pancakes! The head chef at the home, flipped more than 100 pancakes, serving them up with sweet and savoury fillings for all the eager staff and residents.
She said: “My secret to the best pancakes is all in the whipping. Give it some elbow grease when mixing the batter and you’ll get perfect pancakes every time. I like experimenting with the fillings – the residents’ favourites are spinach and cheese, chocolate spread and banana and of course, good old fashioned lemon and sugar!”
The residents at Hall Park commented: “I absolutely love pancake day, it takes me back to my childhood when my mother used to make us all pancakes and we’d all wait in turn for ours hoping the batter would stretch to another. We’ve had so much fun reminiscing and sharing our favourite recipes for fillings.”
National Storytelling Week
Residents at Hall Park have been finding out the favourite stories of residents and staff, and sharing them during National Storytelling Week.
Many of the residents at Hall Park care home have a knack of telling a great story or two, and National Storytelling Week is a perfect opportunity to experience the joy of storytelling.
Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms in the world so, to help keep the custom alive, residents have been reading their own favourite short stories, tales that they were told as children to other residents, their families at home. Residents have also been reciting some of their own creative written works to other residents and their families at the home.
Residents at Hall Park invited the children from the local nursery to the home to listen to their favourite bed time stories.
