Activities at The Manor Care Home
Our activities staff are here 7 days a week and are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we care for in a group or individual basis. From trips to garden centres, the theatre, and flower shows to personal shopping and attending family events. We also love organising Christmas fairs, our famous classic car show, musicians, entertainment, and pizza and pint evenings. The team encourage families to visit and work closely with our volunteers to ensure that our residents social care is a priority, so that they have a fun filled and enriched stay whilst here at The Manor.
Marc Chidgey
I have worked at The Manor since 2012, starting out as a kitchen assistant, where I replenished drinks and snacks and assisted in serving meals in communal areas. During this time, outside of the kitchen, I enjoyed meeting residents and took pleasure in seeing their engagement during activities. My interest in resident activities was evident, and I was offered the opportunity to transfer to the activities team.
I love to spend time with residents. I enjoy hearing their stories and finding out what activities interest them. I aim to keep them as active as possible, and my top priority is to instill fun and laughter at The Manor.

Life at The Manor Care Home
Birds of Prey
We had the most amazing afternoon with a visit from Sharandys Birds of Prey. We loved seeing familiar faces and new ones and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Fun in the Sun
We've been making the most of the sunshine and have been enjoying some garden games. Taking in the fresh air, feeling the sun rays and keeping active and rising fine hand control with some ball games.
Gardening Club
Our gardening club have been very busy this year in our Retreat. Growing a variety of fruit and vegetables. Here are our Aubergines, Gala Melons and crystal lemon cucumbers growing along nicely, the heatwave defiantly helped with our exotic variety’s.
Jubilee Celebrations
We would like to thank everyone who came and joined us at our jubilee garden party. We had a lovely time in the garden enjoying some wonderful music by Amy who we cannot thank enough for playing to us. We also had the most delicious food that was all handmade by our chef and our brilliant volunteers. It was just the most perfect afternoon to bring everyone together to celebrate such a fantastic occasion.
Lunch Time BBQ
There's was no better way to kick-start the weekend with than having a BBQ for all to share. And to polish it off was a visit from the ice cream man to cool us down in the heat.
Cricket
One of the many things we love here are taking our residents out to enjoy there hobbies. We are enjoying a lovely evening here watching Somerset County Cricket Club at the amazing county ground.
