Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
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.

Life at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Easter Celebrations!
We had a wonderful Easter afternoon with the amazing Kitty! Her mini-concert was full of joy, music, and dancing. The residents sang along, danced, and truly enjoyed every moment.
At the end of the session, Kitty walked around handing out Easter eggs and took lovely photos with the residents to capture these special memories.
Thank you so much, Kitty, for an amazing performance! We can’t wait to see you again soon!
Easter Cupcake Fun!
We had such a great time with our residents this week at Baking Club — lots of laughter, stories, and some seriously cute cupcakes!
Everyone got stuck in decorating with pastel icing, and all the sprinkles you can imagine. It’s always heartwarming to see everyone come together, share stories, and enjoy a sweet treat!
Such a sweet way to celebrate Easter together!
Eid Celebrations!
We had such a lovely time celebrating Eid at our care home this year! There was so much joy, laughter, and good vibes all around.
A big thanks to our amazing Second Chef, Rakshi, for her wonderful speech about Ramadan. It really touched everyone's hearts and made the celebration even more special. A huge thanks to our Chef Chris for the incredible cakes and delicious food! You truly outdid yourself, and everyone was talking about how tasty everything was.
And of course, we also had a fundraising event to support the Barchester Charity Foundation. It’s amazing how Eid brings people together to help those in need. Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped out your generosity will make a real difference! Let’s keep spreading the love and kindness.
From The Beatles to Bob Marley
Today, residents, their loved ones and staff at Hugh Myddelton House enjoyed a lovely morning of entertainment with Pete.
Pete sang a medley of our favourite songs, including songs by The Beatles, Bob Marley, Elvis and Abba. We enjoyed singing and dancing along and look forward to Ian coming back to entertain us again soon.
A Visit from West Grove Primary School
Here at Hugh Myddelton house we had a visit from West Grove Primary School spending time reading to our residents, filling the room with laughter, smiles and wonderful memories.
It was a joy to see different generations come together, sharing stories and creating moments to cherish. A big thank you to the students for bringing so much energy and kindness to the home.
National Pizza Day
What could be better on a cold February day? Residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton had a fantastic time celebrating National Pizza Day, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious, warming pizza!
Overseen by head chef Chris and Kitchen Assistant, Dejan, staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations - from the exotic, to the classic and everything in between!
Some people controversially added pineapple, others preferred spicier options, and some stuck to a good old Margherita.
