Activities at Cookridge Court Care Home

You better beer-lieve that residents at Cookridge Court were more than happy to raise a glass, and sample some top ales, in celebration of National Beer Day.

Beer lovers at the home celebrated, and spread beery joy by joining the national toast at 7pm on June 15th, along with millions of people across the country to say ‘Cheers to Beer!’

Residents had a fun filled day as the staff arranged a mini beer festival outside in the sunshine. It was a delightful afternoon and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Residents at Cookridge Court had a wonderful day as they marked the Queens official 95th Birthday with a royal tea party in the beautiful sunshine. 

Our head chef whipped up a tasty selection of freshly-baked biscuits, pastries and cakes for the special occasion, all washed down with pots of tea. 

We enjoyed a variety of royal–themed events including watching virtual tours of royal palaces, writing letters to the Queen, watching old clips of royal tours and occasions.

It was a lovely day, enjoyed by all.

Residents had a lovely afternoon joining the team from Hereford Cathedral as they were given a glimpse of the spectacular building and its treasures as they were taken on a tour of the site.

From the stunning gardens which lead down to the River Wye, to the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library, the virtual visit shared the history and beauty of the historic building.

It was wonderful to learn more about the history and beauty of Hereford Cathedral.
