Do-si-do! Ware care home invites local community to a festival to remember

A new festival is coming to Ware – and you won’t believe where it’s taking place.   

On Tuesday 27^th June, from 12.30pm-4pm, Care UK’s Snowdrop House, on Baldock Street, is set to hit the right note as it opens its doors to local people for its very own barn dance festival. 

The fun-filled festival comes as Snowdrop House celebrates Care Home Open Week, a national initiative that encourages care homes to open their doors and showcase what life in a care home is really like. 

The special event will see guests invited to put their line dancing skills to the test, with guidance from a local expert who will be sure to get everyone’s toes tapping along to a range of catchy folk songs. There will also be prizes for the best dressed, as well as a range of fun sing along games.

Visitors will be treated to a delicious barbecue specially prepared by the home’s talented Head Chef. 

Clare Crow, Home Manager at Snowdrop House, said: “We’re excited to be opening our doors to the local community to celebrate Care Home Open Week with our very own barn dance festival.

“For older people, reminiscing about their favourite music memories and nostalgic events, including barn dances, can help to prompt conversation and connection with those around them. For those living with dementia, these positive feelings gained from revisiting fond memories can help decrease stress, reduce agitation, and improve mood too.

“We’re excited to be welcoming the Ware community as we open our doors and ask everyone to join us in putting their cowboy boots on as we get the opportunity to show off our best moves!”
