Activities at Highfield 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 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.


Neil Barnard
Hi, my name is Neil, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Highfield! I joined the team and role in March 2025.
I love being around people and making a difference to those individuals. Just to see the smiles on their faces brings so much pleasure. I have been a vocalist since 2021, and singing brings me so much joy. You may hear me before you see me.
Don’t be shy—come say hello! I hope you can join us for the fun activities we have planned!
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 Highfield Care Home


Visiting Tadcaster Golf Club
Residents were soaking up the sunshine and enjoying a fun-filled day at Tadcaster Golf Club. With laughter in the air and friendly competition, it’s the perfect spot for relaxing, socializing, and making the most of the beautiful surroundings.




Green fingered residents bloom.
Our green-fingered residents have truly been shining lately! From creating beautiful flower arrangements to planting bulbs that will soon bloom, there’s always something wonderful happening in our gardens. We’ve even been growing our own tomato plants, which are thriving thanks to their care and attention. It’s been so heartwarming to watch everyone get their hands dirty and take pride in watching their plants grow. Gardening has become a favorite activity, and it’s been such a joy seeing the gardens come to life with color —just like the smiles on our residents' faces!




Silent Disco at Highfield
We had such a blast at our recent silent disco here at Highfield! It was so much fun seeing both residents and staff get into the groove, each dancing to their own tunes with wireless headphones. The smiles and laughter were contagious as everyone moved to the music, and it was wonderful to see how engaged and happy everyone was. It really brought us all together, and it was such a special moment for both residents and staff to enjoy music, movement, and fun as one big happy family!








1 year anniversary celebration.
We recently celebrated our one-year anniversary here at Highfield Care Home, and what an amazing day it was! We had so much fun with a Monte Carlo-themed event, complete with games that everyone loved. The highlight of the celebration was the incredible Miss Marina Mae, who serenaded us with her beautiful vocals, bringing a touch of class and joy to the day. We spent the afternoon soaking up the sun in the gardens, laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other’s company. It was such a special day, filled with smiles and great memories, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark this wonderful milestone!

Afternoon Tea
Join us for a delightful afternoon tea at Highfield, where you can relax and enjoy a selection of freshly made sandwiches, homemade cakes, and a warm cup of tea in a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect treat for yourself or to share with loved ones. Spaces are limited, so be sure to book in advance to secure your spot—call us today to reserve your table!





Memory Lane Adventure Book
Our residents have been creating their very own Memory Lane adventure book, filled with photos of the activities, events, and cherished memories they’ve made along the way. As they flip through the pages, each one adds their own personal comments, sharing stories and reflections that bring each moment to life. It’s become a beautiful keepsake, not just for reminiscing, but for celebrating the connections and experiences that make their journey so special.
