Activities at Cadbury Hall Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.
Hannah Lewis
Hi, my name is Hannah and I am the Activities Coordinator at Cadbury Hall.
I studied ‘Creative Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing’ at university and am passionate about using the arts to aid people’s social, physical, and mental wellbeing. In my spare time I love to dance, sing, and act, and help to run a local drama group for children aged 10-18.
With the support of all staff at Cadbury Hall and feedback from residents, we aim for a varied and person-centred activity schedule to help the residents lead rich and fulfilling lives. The best part of my day is seeing the residents get stuck in with the activities and looking at the smiles on their faces.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Exciting Times at the WI Book Club!
Our 1st-floor lounge transformed into a cozy haven for bookworms this week as we gathered for another enriching session of the WI Book Club!
This evening, we indulged in delicious refreshments prepared by our talented chefs while delving into the captivating pages of "The Whalebone Theatre." The discussions were lively, as everyone shared insights and favourite moments from the story!
And there’s more to look forward to! Next on our reading list is "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"—a tale that promises to spark even more engaging conversations!
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we can’t wait to see you next time!

MA PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION – THRESHOLD BY JO SHEPHERD
Cadbury Hall in Yatton celebrated local creative Jo Shepherd exhibition with residents by attending her art exhibition in Nailsea on the 17th February.
The MA projects examine how North Somerset residents both enjoy and endure Bristol airports presence in the rural space.
The project also asks ‘Where are we going and how should we address our 2050 future?
2050is the year by which the UK’s aviation industry needs to meet the UK’s net zero ‘Jet Zero target.
Our residents were very interested having been local residents for many years, seen the growth of the airport and over their life time. Used the airport for business travel and family holidays.
The exhibition inspired some lively conversations and reflections on their travels, memories of travel over the past 80 years and more.
Angela Grace, Home Service Advisor at Cadbury Hall said: “Art and photography is very popular with everyone who lives at Cadbury Hall and creative activities are always a favourite. The photography exhibition was a very special event for us and we are honoured to be invited to attend and view the outstanding artwork created by Jo Shepherd and support the community”
Jo Shepherd said one her aim is getting people to think about the environment the impact of our actions and for future generations. The posts cards and comments were very moving, some people found it very difficult to write to loved ones in 2050. Everything we do today has a consequence. This was a very thought-provoking part of the project. Jo said I don’t want to tell people what to how to think. I would like people be inspired and motivated to think about life and we impact the future.
