Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Fun in the sun!
Fun in the sun - Residents recently enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the homes garden as they took advantage of the early summer sunshine.
Whilst enjoying the warmer weather, Residents raised a glass of their favourite tipple – a glass of fizz! For some it was a traditional and refreshing cup of tea with a slice of home-made cake.
The history of Coronations
Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.
During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.
