We like to tick all the festive boxes here and believe in bringing the magic of Christmas to our residents. Of course, that has to include a pop-up shop and panto!
Christmas panto – Let it snow!
Partytime Productions brought to us their panto this year called Let it Snow! They took us on a sleigh ride into a magical winter wonderland. With lots of Christmas classics to sing along to, such as “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and “Ring out the Bells”.

A huge thank you to Ellie Hudson and Sophie Benson of Partytime Production who engaged everyone in their singing and comedy. They also kindly sang to some residents in their rooms, who were too poorly to attend.
We rounded off the afternoon with tea and mince pies. Panto always brings some Christmas cheer. Oh yes it does!
Christmas shopping
Our residents love to be able to buy gifts for their loved one. We welcomed back by popular demand, Wendy and John with their pop-up shop. There was a huge range of jewellery, handbags and scarves. Vera was delighted with her new handbag – you are never too old for a little retail therapy!
