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.

A Visit from The London Children's Ballet
Residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton House care home in Southgate experienced an afternoon of joy when The London Children’s Ballet came to visit.
Residents at Hugh Myddelton House were blown away by The L C B performance of Anne of Green Gables, as they were danced through the emotive story of 11 year old Orphan Anne, who was sent by mistake to two middle-aged siblings who had intended to adopt a boy to help on their farm. The performers spent time with residents, dancing, talking and taking pictures after the show.
Wine is bottled poetry. Cheers to English Wine Week.
During the week, our residents participated in both indoor and outdoor activities and enjoyed the sunny weather in our garden.
We enjoyed a delicious English wine tasting, some residents participated in the garden whilst others preferred to enjoy from the comfort of the dining room, and we paired our wines with different tasty treats.
National Fish and Chips Day
Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton House and our local community friends had a fantastic time celebrating National Fish & Chip Day on Friday 2nd June, surely one of the best days of the year!
Our chef Rakshi whipped up a selection of different flavoured batters for residents to try along with some home-made tartare sauce and mushy peas, everyone had a great time guessing the different batter ingredients. The sun was shining so residents took to the garden to eat their fish and chips in paper cones with wooden forks in time-honoured tradition.
Margaret a resident at Hugh Myddelton House commented: “We’ve all had such a lovely day. It just doesn’t get any better than fish and chips and a cold glass of beer, it’s always been my favourite – you can’t beat fish & chips as far as I’m concerned!”
Don't worry, Beer happy!
You better beer-lieve that residents at Hugh Myddelton House were more than happy to raise a glass, and sample some top craft ales, bitters and lagers, in celebration of National Beer Day on June 15th.
The hospitality team at Hugh Myddelton House set up a bar for a real pub experience and brought in a range of brew-tiful British ales for residents to sample. Residents and their visitors enjoyed a beer tasting in the garden.
Our previous resident at Hugh Myddelton House Englebert commented: “I didn’t realise we had so many lovely local ales, it was fantastic to be able to enjoy a cold beer in the garden with my friends and family – you can’t really beat that now can you?”
