Here at The Wingfield our activities team provide a varied and interesting range of activities for all residents. We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) and we take pride in delivering activities that will enhance residents lives and bring happiness and a sense of purpose. Our cooking activities are very popular, as well as the regular book clubs, coffee mornings, skittle matches and bus trips. We provide one to one support for those who are unable to attend activities and we have tea dances, musicians, quizzes, music and movement, as well as our giant scrabble board! But most importantly we have fun! Relatives are always welcome and there is always much laughter and smiling faces during our activities.

Life at The Wingfield Care Home
A Vintage Christmas
Over the past few months the residents in The Lodge have greatly enjoyed the visits and talks from Trowbridge Museum, they have been interesting and entertaining.
Their Christmas special was entitled a "Vintage Christmas" and we had a visit from a vintage Santa! Thank you so much we look forward to more talks in 2024.
Supporting Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal
The Wingfield were delighted to drop off the Christmas gifts collected by the home for the Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal for the Royal Hospital for Children. Resident Mair went along with Tracey and Michaela, thank you so much to everyone who donated. For infection control those donating are asked not to wrap the gifts. We are so pleased to be part of bringing a smile to children in hospital this Christmas.
Bowling Success!
Thank you so much Dave and the Trowbridge and Wiltshire Bowls Clubs who have supported The Wingfield's Short Mat Bowls over the past year. The club runs monthly in the home and is greatly enjoyed by our residents as well as those from other Barchester homes nearby. General Manager, Ansitha was delighted to present a Christmas gift as a thank you.
We look forward to the next session on Monday 15th January 2024 at 11am!
Fantastically Festive Fete!
It was a fantastic festive weekend at The Wingfield with our Christmas Fete. We had a very special visitor who listened to the children's Christmas wishes and gave them an early gift. There was a great variety of stalls and we even got Father Christmas to draw the raffle - he had a very busy afternoon!
Christmas Creativity
Over the past week we’ve been getting creative at The Wingfield making Christmas cards and decorations. The residents also became elves as they did a sterling job helping to get ready for The Wingfield's Christmas Fete this Saturday!
Craft sessions are always sociable and the end results look beautiful on display.
Deck the Halls....
What a lovely day we had today putting up the Christmas decorations all around The Wingfield. The residents so enjoyed decorating the trees and it really did get us all in the Christmas spirit! Mair has done a fantastic job decorating our big tree with Chloe.
Today is the start of The Wingfield’s Countdown to Christmas and we are so looking forward to the festivities.
