Activities at Edingley Lodge Care Home

As a gesture of our deep appreciation for their unwavering commitment and support, we thoughtfully assembled goodie bags filled with homemade sweet treats & Barchester goodies, along with chocolates, which we distributed to our local hospitals and GP surgeries,

Additionally, both residents and team members took the time to express their gratitude by writing and sending out heartfelt thank you cards to the dedicated social and healthcare professionals in our community.

Edingley Lodge had a very special visit from students from Minster secondary school in Southwell, This was our first visit from these students and we all couldn't wait to welcome them all into our home. Couple of the students treated us all to their wonderful talents. They entertained us with beautiful songs, Some residents enjoyed a game of dominoes and card games with the students.

The residents were thrilled with their afternoon entertainment and it was heart warming to see residents joining in with the singing.

Edingley Lodge celebrated national cream tea day, with a selection of tea and scones, with cream and jam. 

Every year on the last Friday in June, British tradition comes alive on International Cream Tea Day (formerly National Cream Tea Day). This International Day celebrates a tradition enjoyed at social occasions, and with guests in your home.

Here at Edingley Lodge we hosted our very own dog show, all the dogs were amazing, prizes were won for prettiest dog, waggiest tail, most handsome dog and many more, Residents, friends & family had a lovely time cheering on all the dogs, There were  delicious treats served throughtout, and some for our furry friends too.

Crufts is the greatest dog event in the world! Organised by The Kennel Club, the show celebrates every aspect of the role that dogs play in our lives. 

residents enjoyed a trip to Southwell workhouse, They had a lovely time looking around with a guided tour, It was really interesting to find out the history behind the workhouse and how things have changed over the years, and of course we finished the trip off with a hot drink and cake, The Workhouse was built in 1824 as a place of last resort for the destitute. Its architecture was influenced by prison design and its harsh regime became a blueprint for workhouses throughout the country. Nightingale and other social reformers slowly began to raise awareness of the need for better conditions in which to treat the sick,.

staff and residents at Edingley Lodge took part in a range of different sports day activities, We had the traditional egg & spoon race, tug of war, races, bean bag throwing, and of course penalty shoot out to celebrate England's win on the weekend for Euro 2024!We all had a lovely afternoon finished off with a refreshing cool ice-cream,

Sports days are events staged by many schools and offices in which people participate in competitive sporting activities, often with the aim of winning trophies or prizes.
