Activities at Henford House Care Home

Residents and guests at Henford House enjoyed an evening of musical pleasure with a live concert performance that took place at the home. Local band and relative of a resident at Henford “Big Mamma’s Bannned” performed a selection of summertime sounds across the decades in the garden area of the home.

Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the band performed their finale song. Guests were invited to bring a picnic or indulge in some refreshments that were on offer including delicious BBQ treats for the performance on the manuicured grounds behind the home.

There was also a raffle and donation buckets with all proceeds going to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

General Manager, Karen said, “Our residents and guests had a wonderful evening  singing along with the fabulous performers. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Henford as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one of our favourites!”

One resident said “I haven’t heard some of these songs in many years. The classics never go out of style!”

The weather was perfect for the occasion to take place in the garden. The gazebos went up, hay bales were delivered, cowboy hats were worn and everybody got involved with the live country and western music, which was performed by Vanessa.

Halfway through the event, a BBQ and drinks were enjoyed by all, and then another set of music was enjoyed with a little bit of line dancing.
