Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Hark the Herald Angels sing!
Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the nursery children led by Anna Mardapittas to come and sing Christmas Carols in the home’s garden. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community here. Singing Christmas Carols is such a lovely tradition and we are so glad we could invite our little friends and neighbours to sing our favourite songs together.
Thank you very much and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
A Magical Reindeer visit
On 8th of December, there was huge excitement at Hugh Myddelton House as one of Santa's reindeers came by to visit the residents.
Staff and residents had a wonderful time learning about the very friendly reindeer from Performing Pets, finding out from Kelly & Des about his habits and what he likes to eat. Several of the residents got to feed the reindeer some of his favourite treats.
John, resident at Hugh Myddelton said: "It was so lovely to see the reindeer and get to stroke him, he was absolutely beautiful. We all loved feeding him carrots, which he devoured! I hope we haven't made him too fat to take off on Christmas Eve!"
Best of Christmas
Residents and team members at Hugh Myddelton House had a wonderful time taking part in a musical show with all the best bits of Christmas presented by Tickled Pink Production. Everyone enjoyed singing to White Christmas, Chestnuts Roasting and The Twelve days of Christmas to name just a few of the songs. Beautiful costumes and a light hearted romantic comedy story got everyone in the spirit of Christmas.
Out & About
Residents from Hugh Myddelton House took off and had a very interesting trip to The Royal Air Force Museum.
Seeing the aircraft of Second World War, especially Battle of Britain' s fighter aircraft - the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire and Messerschmitt - brought back memories for our residents.
Remembrance Day
Residents and team members at Hugh Myddelton House marked Remembrance Day making a wonderful poppy display and listening to old wartime songs. We were very proud to wear our poppies and to remember the brave heroes.
Little things make big days!
Residents and team members had a great time with Anna and her children's group who make regular visits to Hugh Myddelton House.
The joy and excitement the children bring on their visits to see our residents has become the highlight of our week. Residents are thrilled to spend time with them, singing, playing games, reminiscing about their own childhoods.
We always enjoy their company and look forward to seeing them soon.
