Activities at Reigate Beaumont Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising and delivering a fun mix of activities and events chosen by the residents here at Reigate Beaumont. We work closely with the local community who get involved in all kinds of activities within the home. We enjoy all kinds of events which could be anything from trips out to local places of interest in our minibus or visits from entertainers and musicians, spending time in our beautiful gardens, or providing great activities for the mind body and soul. We liaise with local churches and regularly hold multi-congregational services at the home.
It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and invite them to our regular events. We also have a variety of volunteers who really enjoy spending time within the home too.

Our fun, silent, sensory disco
Our residents had an amazing time at our armchair disco. The afternoon was surrounded by colourful sensory items and floating bubbles. Everyone had individual headphones with fun, engaging music.
It was a magical time for our residents and staff filled with laughter and great singing voices.

Fashion Show Fun
Reigate Beaumont recently transformed into a runway for a fabulous fashion show featuring residents and staff.
The event was a resounding success, with residents donning stylish outfits and accessories.
Applause filled the air as each participant strutted down the runway, showcasing their unique flair. Tea and cakes followed, turning this stylish affair into a cherished memory.
Ginger Biscuits Galore
Christmas creativity was on display as residents took part in our ginger biscuit decorating session.
Guided by the activities team, residents turned plain biscuits into edible works of art with icing and festive sprinkles.
Joan said, “I haven’t done this since my children when we were young!”
It was a delightful afternoon filled with smiles, conversation, and the comforting aroma of freshly baked biscuits.
