Faversham residents will have a chance to pick up some last minute Christmas gifts and meet Father Christmas, as Care UK’s Kingsfield residential care home opens its doors to the public on Friday 14^th December between 2pm-4pm.

As well as stalls, including a craft stall filled and run by the residents, there will be a chance to guess the number of sweets in the jar, enjoy goodies from the cake stall and enjoy some Christmas refreshments with a twist.

Activities Coordinator Laura Corbett said: “A member of our kitchen team makes excellent noodles and spring rolls and she will be cooking them on the day and we will also have a traditional mulled wine and mince pie stall.”

Children will also have an opportunity to tell Father Christmas what they want for Christmas as well as some live Christmas-themed entertainment.

Laura said: “The residents have been working hard making beautiful decorations to give the home a Christmas feel and they have created a beautiful ‘12 Days of Christmas’ display by collecting, amongst other things, twigs and leaves to create the pear tree for the partridge.”

On Sunday 23^rd December, it will be the residents’ turn to be entertained when they are visited by an amateur dramatic group from the Arden Theatre.

Laura said: “The residents are really looking forward to the visit. The actors will be in costume while they read poetry and perform popular Christmas readings. It will make a perfect start to our Christmas celebrations.”
