Let the good vibes roll! Bromsgrove care home invites local community to a festival to remember

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

On Saturday 24^th June, from 11am-5pm, Care UK’s Chandler Court, on Recreation Road, is set to hit the right note as it opens its doors to local people to visit the brand-new Summertime Festival.

The fun-filled festival comes as Chandler Court 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. 

Summertime Festival will see guests invited to dance along to live entertainment from the home’s very own DJ, Ian, who will be performing classic hits from across the swinging sixties – sure to get the party started.

Guests will have the chance for guests to take part in traditional garden games, including croquet and volleyball. There will also be a tombola, where visitors can try their luck to win a host of prizes, plus a bouncy castle, and a face painter on hand to keep younger visitors entertained.

Visitors will also be treated to a barbecue, including hot dogs, pork baps and a Victoria sponge, specially prepared by the home’s talented head chef.

Patricia Jamieson, Interim Home Manager at Chandler Court, commented: “We’re excited to be opening our doors to the local community to celebrate Care Home Open Week with our very own Summertime Festival.

“For older people, reminiscing about nostalgic events, such as festivals and watching live music, can help bring back happy memories, as well as prompting 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 Bromsgrove community as we open our doors and ask everyone to join us in putting their dancing shoes on as we get the opportunity to be young, wild and free once more!”
