Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Christmas Day at Tennyson Wharf
We had a fantastic day celebrating Christmas Day here at Tennyson Wharf.
In the morning we welcomed Father Christmas who brought gifts to all our residents - everyone was busy opening their presents and enjoying a glass of bubbly before the festive feast, prepared by our talented chef and kitchen team.
After lunch, we tuned in to watch and listen to the King's speech. Our day was filled with joy, smiles, music and laughter.
Throughout the day, residents also enjoyed visits from their loved ones. It was a very busy day, but thoroughly enjoyed by all. The pictures say it all!
Festivities in full swing!
We had a fun filled afternoon with a surprise visit from Steve Barclay and his fantastic Christmas show.
Our residents had the pleasure of welcoming Steve into their home with an afternoon of Christmas songs, stories & great humour.
Our residents' smiles show how much fun we had today at Tennyson Wharf.
Christmas Musical Production
Our residents from Tennyson Wharf this afternoon had a great time in the company of Clearer Productions
A Christmas musical production with songs, poems, stories, numerous dress changes and especially smiles and laughter from our residents.
Our residents enjoyed participating in this magical experience and we look forward to their return in the summer.
Christmas Carols with The Rotary Club
Residents and staff at Tennyson Wharf, we are pleased to welcome members of The Rotary Club here in Lincoln.
Our residents shared Christmas carols and thoroughly enjoyed their company.
We celebrated and enjoyed a glass of sherry, bringing Christmas joy throughout our home.
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening at Tennyson Wharf.
Kindness at Christmas
We are hugely grateful for our Christmas Tree, given to our home by our wonderful resident here at Tennyson Wharf, Peter.
Peter is staying here on a short break and wanted to give something back and thought it would be a lovely idea to gift us this wonderful Christmas Tree for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you also to our wonderful gardener, Derick for making it possible.
Christmas Cookery Demonstration
We had a fantastic time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Christmas-inspired live virtual cookery demonstration.
Chef Alex showed us how to make and decorate a gingerbread house for the upcoming festivities. Our residents truly enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to put their skills to the test.
To make things even more exciting, we will have the opportunity to make our own gingerbread house and enter a themed competition, where Chef Alex will judge the entries.
All in all the afternoon was an absolute triumph!
