Bury St Edmunds care home invites community for a merry good time

A care home in Bury St Edmunds is inviting the local community to get into the festive spirit at its very own Christmas fair.

On Saturday 7^th December, from 2pm-4.30pm, Care UK’s Glastonbury Court, on Glastonbury Road, is welcoming members of the community to join residents and team members to kick-start the festive season with a special fair ‘yule’ not want to miss.

Guests will be able to browse stalls selling a range of goods including Christmas gifts, decorations, charity cards and handmade jewellery from local businesses. There will also be a special stall run by residents selling handmade Christmas decorations and cards. 

Paul Pleasants and Scott Green will be playing the guitar and singing Christmas songs, along with a variety of refreshments including everyone’s favourite festive treats, mince pies and mulled wine.

Ana Mihai, Home Manager at Glastonbury Court, said: “Here at Glastonbury Court, we’re already getting our Christmas jumpers on and counting down until the big day – which is why we’re excited to be kicking off the festivities with our very own Christmas market.

“We strive to play an active role in our community, and we’re delighted to be opening the doors to our neighbours to enjoy the festivities together. Residents are busy preparing their stall and the event is a wonderful opportunity for them to reminisce over Christmas memories, share stories and meet new people.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for a Christmassy day full of festive fun– I can hear the jingle bells already!”

Glastonbury Court is a modern care home providing full-time residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care. Designed to enable residents to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives, the home has its very own cinema and hair salon, and there is plenty of space both indoors and out for relaxation and recreation.
