Activities at Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Christmas Fayre
Our Christmas Craft Fayre was an incredible success!
We had an amazing turnout, selling tons of raffle tickets, delicious cakes, and a wonderful selection of items crafted by our talented residents.
Together, we raised an impressive amount of over £400! A huge shoutout to all the fantastic stall holders who joined us for this festive celebration.
We hope every child who visited Santa had a magical experience, and a special thank you goes out to Santa and his cheerful helpers, the Elves. What an unforgettable day!
Christmas Cake Decorating
We have been busy lately at Bryn Ivor Lodge with lots of Christmas activities.
And what a fun time we had decorating Christmas cakes with our fabulous Head Chef Karen! She kicked things off by demonstrating her expert decorating skills, captivating our Residents with her festive flair.
Then, everyone was treated to a delicious chocolate brownie shaped like a Christmas tree, crafted with care by our talented 2nd Chef, Jay.
With creativity in the air, each resident eagerly jumped into decorating their own cakes. The atmosphere was festive, and the cakes vanished in no time as everyone savored them along with steaming cups of tea. Big thanks to our Chefs and making this such fun activity.
A trip to the Posh Club
We had an absolutely amazing time recently at The Posh Club.
Of course we dressed up for the occasion and indulged in a mouth-watering afternoon tea that was simply divine.
The excitement continued with some bubbly sparkling wine as we watched a fabulous lineup of performances filled with singing and dancing and many of our residents swaying along to the music.
It was an unforgettable experience that left us all buzzing with joy! This was defiantly an afternoon to remember.
Commemorating Remembrance day with Local Community Project
To commemorate Remembrance Day, our Residents in Bryn Ivor Lodge teamed up with local nursery, Marshfield Monkeys, as well as local Cubs and Brownies for two heartfelt projects.
Together, they painted pebbles to create a giant poppy, a symbol of respect and remembrance for those who served during the Wars.
Additionally, they cut out paper poppies out to assemble a striking poppy display.
These collaborative projects not only honoured veterans, but also fostered a meaningful connection between generations, with young children learning valuable lessons from the residents’ stories and experiences.
An evening with Sian Reeves
An evening to remember!
We have recently had the pleasure of being visited by the talented Siân Reeves, an English actress cherished for her memorable roles, including Sydney Henshall in the BBC drama Cutting It, Sally Spode in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, and Charlie Wood in Coronation Street.
Siân touched our hearts with a beautiful selection of songs from wartime favourites and musical hits. It was heart warming to see all our residents and staff join in the sing-along, sharing smiles and joy together.
Siân has recorded a heartfelt album with all donations supporting the brilliant work of The Alzheimer’s Society.
Bonfire Night Celebration
We had a fantastic time at Bryn Ivor lodge celebrating Bonfire Night!
It was a successful event bring our community together in an evening of celebration and remembrance.
The sky was filled with vibrant fireworks which'd lighted up some many faces. It was a pleasure to bring our community together for the evening with over 150 visitors joining our residents. The evening really did go off with a bang as we celebrated tradition, and a true sense of togetherness.
It really was a night to remember!
At Bryn Ivor Lodge we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community.
