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
Coronation Day Celebrations
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles III in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal afternoon tea party.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering. Our talented chef prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of prosecco.
St George's Day
In honour of St George, patron saint of England, we decorated our home and enjoyed some delicious homemade themed cakes.
We spent some time learning important facts about St George and completed lots of St George's Day themed activities using Oomph Wellness.
We had a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
Visit from Harmony Lincs
We enjoyed a visit from Harmony Lincs who came and sang for our residents and staff.
It was a wonderful afternoon enjoyed by everyone.
Thank you for coming to entertain us and we hope to welcome you back to Tennyson Wharf very soon.
Trip to the pub!
Over the weekend we took residents for a trip to our local pub Woodcocks, for a drink or two!
For some of our residents, a trip to the pub can be associated with many happy memories from their younger years and with Family. We are so lucky to have a lovely pub right on our doorstep for residents to enjoy, especially now the weather is improving!
Easter Celebrations
We’ve had a fantastic few days of Easter celebrations here at Tennyson Wharf from indulging in Chocolate treats, making our very own delicious crispy cakes, playing a variety of themed games and enjoying a special Easter Church Service.
Everyone has had a wonderful time!
Spring is here!
Residents had a fantastic afternoon making some fat balls ready to put outside to feed the birds!
So many residents here at Tennyson Wharf love watching the birds and we can’t wait to welcome more to our lovely garden!
