We are particularly proud of the relationship we have built with Peterborough Sailability. This registered charity offers the opportunities to those with restricted mobility to enjoy the thrill of sailing on the open water and the sense of independence that brings in specially adapted boats.

Life at Longueville Court Care Home
Beauty & Pamper Namaste Afternoon
There’s nothing better than having a bit of TLC and being pampered. From hand massages, foot scrubs, facials and manicures we look after everyone here. When they want to be treated like a princess our team are on hand to provide!
Loving the Lavendar
An afternoon trip to our lovely local Notcutts Garden Centres in Peterborough. Choosing roses for our garden and smelling the beautiful lavender. Afterwards we went for a cold cloudy lemonade and a very much needed ice cream.
Captivating Concorde
This week we visited Imperial War Museum Duxford courtesy of the IWM team who donated us 4 VIP tickets! It was a very special day for Bill one of our residents as he helped develop Concorde in his earlier years.
Listening to Bill talk to the engineering staff about how he worked on the nose of Concorde was really fascinating. The staff even gave our residents a VIP tour of the inside of the plane.
Banjo Mania!
So today we welcomed back the fabulous Banjo Man, a great musician and entertainer. He had us all singing and dancing along to the greatest songs of a bygone era. We even did a bit of hand jive!
See you again soon 'Sean' aka The Banjo Man.
