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

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

On Tuesday 27^th June, from 1pm-3.30pm, Care UK’s Field Lodge, on London Road, is set to hit the right note as it opens its doors to local people for its very own Notting Hill inspired festival.

The fun-filled festival comes as Field Lodge 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 dance along to entertainment from Cory Lewis as well as live steel drum band – sure to get the party started.

Visitors will also be treated to traditional Caribbean cuisine and vibrant cocktails, specially prepared by the home’s talented Head Chef.

Linda Martinez, Home Manager at Field Lodge, commented: “We’re excited to be opening our doors to the local community to celebrate Care Home Open Week with our very own carnival.

“For older people, reminiscing about nostalgic events, including carnivals 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 St Ives 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!”
