Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
V&A Dundee - Night fever
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont were treated to a talk about nightclub culture by V&A Dundee Curator, Kirsty Hassard. The presentation forms part of a series of six talks and virtual tours that V&A Dundee is hosting for Barchester Healthcare’s care homes and private hospitals across the UK.
V&A Dundee is Scotland’s design museum, it showcases Scotland’s outstanding design achievements and features world-class exhibitions alongside the permanent Scottish Design Galleries, and a changing programme of commissions, events and activities.
Kirsty’s talk looked at the history and design of night clubs, and examined club culture from the 1960s to the present day. She explored their evolution and development around the world, from Italy to America, and closer to home, looking at their importance as cultural venues and designed spaces.
Waggy tails at Stamford Bridge
Residents of Stamford Bridge do like their treats! During the recent glorious sunny weather we arranged for a local ice-cream van to visit the home so residents could enjoy refreshing ice-creams and lollies. Once their choice was selected, everyone sat on the homes front lawn to savour the taste, with conversations soon turning to childhood memories of walks along the promenade on seaside trips and their favourite holiday destinations. It was a fab way to spent the afternoon!
