Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Hello, my name is Paula and I’m the Activities coordinator at Tewkesbury Fields care home. I’ve joined Barchester healthcare in 2020.
As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives, creating memories and be able to provide meaningful activities to each one of the residents living at Tewkesbury fields.

Residents returned to Tewkesbury Abbey to enjoy a good look around including viewing the magnificent Stitch Story, which everyone probably knows by now we are huge fans off. A building with so much history we learn and see something new on every visit.

A lovely sunny and tranquil morning at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home, saw residents enjoying the fresh air and beautiful sunshine on the decking area, while taking part in a morning quiz.
Cinema Night at Home
Tewkesbury Fields was transformed into our very own luxury cinema. What a wonderful night everyone had with chocolates, gin and wine are It was such an enjoyable relaxing evening including a sing a long to some of the songs.
Walk along the Locks
Tewkesbury Fields residents enjoyed a lovely walk to Upper Lode Lock. The views are stunning of the River Avon. Lock keeper Trudie was on hand to give lots of information on how the locks work and told us about all the different boats that pass through. We are so lucky to have such beautiful surroundings within walking distance here at Tewkesbury Fields.
