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
Activities Coordinator
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!
Celebrating life at Highfield Care Home
Pride Party
What a fabulous day we had at Highfield Care Home! We were thrilled to welcome the amazing Diva Chanel, who brought so much joy, laughter, and sparkle to our Pride celebration. Her performance had us all clapping, singing, and laughing from start to finish. It was a truly uplifting afternoon, and it meant so much to celebrate Pride together in such a fun and inclusive way. We’re still smiling!
Digby's Cafe visit
We had such a lovely time visiting Digby’s Café at Sherburn Aero Club! Sitting by the window with a hot cup of coffee and watching the planes take off and land was so relaxing. It was great to get out in the fresh air, enjoy a change of scenery, and have a good chat with friends. We’re already looking forward to our next trip!
Local Vocalist welcomed to Highfield
We had such a lovely time at Highfield Care Home when local vocalist Holly Taymar Bilton came to perform for us! Her beautiful voice had us all singing along, clapping, and smiling from ear to ear. It was a joyful afternoon full of music, laughter, and great company – we can’t wait to have her back again!
Baking sweet treats
Residents at Highfield Care Home have been having great fun in the kitchen during their recent baking sessions. From mixing ingredients to decorating sweet treats, there’s been plenty of laughter, delicious smells, and proud smiles all around. Baking is a much-loved activity that brings everyone together, sparks happy memories, and ends with the best reward of all—enjoying their tasty creations!
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!
