Activities at Cepen Lodge 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.

Life at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Butterfly World!
We had a great day out in the sunshine at Studley Grange Garden & Leisure Park yesterday, visiting the animals and having a walk around before a delicious lunch in the cafe! We admired the beautiful exotic butterflies in the Butterfly World, into the reptile house and then onto the farm park to feed the goats, sheep and farm animals. What a wonderful trip out! Many thanks to our wonderful volunteer Kev Thomson for driving our minibus and supporting us.
VE Day Celebrations
We spent the afternoon singing and dancing, and stepping back in time with amazing entertainment by the D-Day Dollies and a special guest visitor Ken from Royal British Legion, who spent time chatting with some of our veteran residents and represented the Royal British Legion during our celebrations. We had an amazing afternoon and feedback was so positive about this event.
Mayday Celebrations
To celebrate Mayday we had a great British tea party in the sunshine in the gardens, and enjoyed some delicious cakes and treats whilst having a sing song. Some of our residents created their own maypole, which we danced around in the garden as per the Mayday Tradition. We all had so much fun and we’re really enjoying making the most of the sunny weather at last.
Trip to The Best Ever Brownie Company
We ventured out to The Best Ever Brownie Company for some delicious treats, and a walk about the farm to see the animals! We picked up a couple of boxes to bring back for everyone to enjoy too. All agreed we had a lovely afternoon out, and we will definitely be coming back again soon. Thankyou so much for your great hospitality - and the best ever brownies!
Trip to Western!
Day trip to Western!
Some of our lovely gentleman joined us on a brilliant outing last week. We took a trip to Western to enjoy the fresh sea air and take a walk down the pier. Of course a visit to the seaside is not complete without some delicious Fish and Chips!
It was a brilliant afternoon with us even getting to enjoy some ice cream for the trip home. Thank you to everyone that joined us.
Easter Fete
What a fabulous time we had at our annual Easter Fete! It was brilliant to open our doors to the local community and celebrate.
We had the pleasure of welcoming lots of different business from our local community to join us. We had face painting, a stilt walker and of course a delicious BBQ provided by our talented hospitality team.
It was a wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all! A big thank you to everyone that joined us.
