Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home

At Hugh Myddelton we are celebrated world music day by having a special guest over Pete Morton . Staff and our residents went to the garden in the gorgeous sun for a live performance with him playing many classics creating an atmosphere of joy and nostalgia brining smiles on our residents faces, we’re so grateful for these special moments that bring us together.

La Fete de la Musique was first celebrated in France in 1982 when amateur and professional musicians performed on the streets of Paris. Other countries adopted the same date to celebrate all different types of live music and the European Festival of Music soon became World Music Day as countries around the globe got on board.

You are safe to be you at Hugh Myddelton House. We respect individuality.

Pride Month is a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and the wonderful contributions they have made to society. It is also a time to raise awareness, celebrate diversity and promote equality.

The home may have had rainbows, but no rain.

Staff and residents had a fantastic time celebrating National Fish & Chip Day on Friday 7th June, surely one of the best days of the year!

Residents went on an outing to their local pub and enjoy the warm sunny day with some fish and chips we all had a great laugh as well as a good chippy which we all cherished.

On 13th May, residents and team members at Hugh Myddelton House celebrated World Cocktail Day. Whether you're a tequila fan, a whisky lover, a gin aficionado or just like to mix it up and try something new, World Cocktail Day has had something for everyone.

We have all had so much fun trying all sort of different spirits and mixers from around the world. Our residents really enjoyed their tasting session and had a great fun sampling different cocktail recipes such as Pina Colada, Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Pimm's, Passion Fruit and Martini or Strawberry Daiquiri.

Since the opening of its first shop in Birmingham in 1824, Cadbury has delighted the nation with its confectionary and drinking chocolate. It has been with us throughout everyday and seasonal moments, even popping out of our 99 ice cream cones on the beach. It’s the brand behind our favourite selection boxes, as well as the Cadbury Dairy Milk we unwind with on the sofa. Tastes we’ve known for generations – these have long been a part of Britain’s rich cultural history and the lives of Brits across generations.

Our residents had the best time remembering how they have enjoyed Cadbury throughout their lives, looking at all the old ad campaigns brought back so many memories.

In our lovely care home, our resident ambassador Rosa organised a cake sale to raise money for awareness for Alzheimer’s society and dementia action week. We had many of our residents interested an intrigued as well as family’s. We had a variety of cakes from sponge cakes to cheesecakes which had us all hungry and tempted to eat as they looked mouth watering good. We had many volunteers coming in with their cakes and support. We all joined and played games such as cards, puzzles, crosswords and we even had a jar full of sweets where you’d estimate how many sweets there are and the person close enough wins the whole thing. We raised a whopping amount of £550 so we thank each and everybody who participated and donated we couldn’t have done this without them. It was a day to remember as we all had a laugh, ate cakes and played games with a cuppa.
