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
Mother's Day Tea Party
Our Mother's Day Tea Party was attended by many relatives, friends and mums. We were all entertained by a band whose founder is the daughter of a resident. The event also coincided with residents, Freda's, 93rd birthday.
93rd Birthday Celebrations
We recently celebrated a 93rd birthday party here at Tennyson Wharf. The resident's birthday coincided with our Mother's Day Tea Party, which was enjoyed by all.
Music with Mummy
‘Music with Mummy’ brings families with their babies and toddlers into Tennyson Wharf on a weekly basis to sing songs and play percussion instruments with residents. It is a truly amazing experience even the shyest of children have fun with our enthralled and happy residents. Having permission from parents to have a little cuddle, residents readily accept and recall happy times!
Established in 1992 by Elaine Bielby, ‘Music with Mummy’ is an inspirational, fun, friendly and welcoming musical education programme for babies through to preschool children. Sessions are attended by mums, dads, grandparents and teddy bears, as well as residents.
Baking Session
Residents enjoyed a baking session and the photos depict the before and after results – yummy!
