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.

Christmas Sing-a-long

A wonderful visit from a family member that turned into a Christmas sing along. 

Hazel is staying with us on respite care here at Tennyson Wharf. Her daughter Caroline visited from London and offered us a fantastic Christmas concert playing piano and singing.

Our residents gathered at our large reception and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.

So much Christmas joy and cheer in our home, thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift to us all.

Christmas Jumper Day

We had a wonderful time dressing up in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.


Our residents were encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need all around the world. 


It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
