What an absolutely AMAZING afternoon we had at our Spring Fair! The atmosphere was full of laughter, music and excitement from start to finish as residents, families, friends and visitors all came together to enjoy a truly memorable day.
We were brilliantly entertained by George the guitarist, who had everyone singing along to classic favourites throughout the afternoon. It was wonderful to see residents and visitors joining in, clapping, dancing and enjoying the fantastic live music together.
Out in the garden, our circus workshop was an absolute hit with both children and grown-ups alike! There were smiles everywhere as people tried their hand at juggling, plate spinning and even stilt walking, bringing plenty of fun, laughter and a real circus atmosphere to the day. The lovely Bekki was on hand to show everyone the ropes!
Our games area proved hugely popular too, with guests taking part in Water and Wine, Hoopla and Bean Bag Toss competitions. Everyone got wonderfully competitive, and whoever scored the highest number of points walked away with a fantastic £25 Amazon gift voucher!
We also held a brilliant tombola and raffle with some truly fantastic prizes up for grabs, including a Greene King voucher, a delicious food hamper and an alcohol hamper, which created lots of excitement as the winning numbers were announced.
The delicious circus-themed food went down an absolute treat, with guests enjoying traditional circus favourites including hotdogs, burgers and fries, alongside bags of freshly made popcorn that added to the authentic fairground feel. Our fantastic selection of drinks was equally popular — especially the much-loved Circus Extravaganza cocktail!
We’re so proud to share that although the final total is still being confirmed, we raised a considerable amount for our residents’ fund, helping us continue to provide wonderful activities and experiences for everyone here.
A huge THANK YOU to everybody who came along and made the day so special, and a massive shoutout to our incredible activities team who, as always, worked tirelessly to pull off such a truly wonderful event. What a day to remember!
