There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local theatre, as well as visits from Pat dogs, musicians and entertainers. We also host bingo, quiz and knitter natter afternoons that we encourage relatives and the local community to attend. Our Gentleman's Club is also open to non-residents every Thursday afternoon from 2:30pm, join us for a tipple of your choice, we have plenty of snacks and chats. For the ladies, our beauty salon provides; hairdressing and nail pampering, you too can enjoy a drink and some well-deserved 'me' time. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Cherry Trees is fun and active.

Life at Cherry Trees Care Home
Care Home Open Day
Cherry Trees hosted its annual Open day and Summer Fayre on Saturday 18th June. The lovely weather enabled us to celebrate the day outside in our beautiful courtyard. Our theme this year was celebrating life through the ages. Texan Peacocks, the singer, came to perform a variety of songs to the residents - who loved dancing along with their family and friends.
We had a traditional British BBQ which the residents and guests enjoyed. The residents loved watching the children have their faces painted as colorful characters and playing good old fashioned games. The usual tombola, raffle and cake stall went down a storm, with lots of home-made treats, which included homemade cream scones and fairy cakes. This is an annual event which is always a great success and one we all look forward to.
