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.

Cheers to World Cocktail Day
What a fabulous Afternoon of sunshine and fun.
World Cocktail Day is a global celebration of cocktails. World Cocktail Day invites everyone to try something new, and perhaps a little exotic, this special occasion is celebrated by cocktail lovers worldwide.
Coronation Celebrations
Excitement is in the air at Hugh Myddelton House in Southgate where residents and staff have been busy making Coronation-themed decorations and baking up a storm of red, white and blue cakes and pastries with the help of head chef Christopher in preparation for the King’s Coronation on May 8.
Staff and residents at the home put their heads together and came up with a plan for their celebrations fit for a King. Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, setting the stage for a grand royal party, barbecue, tea party, concert with live music by Ian James.
International Dance Day
Staff and residents at the home marked the day with a whole host of dance-related fun activities. Residents were given the cha-cha-chance to learn new dance styles from around the world. They were joined by the Iberian Folkloric dance and music association who put on an amazing show and encouraged everyone to join in. Elsa the dance leader of the Iberian dance group celebrated her 80th Birthday and everyone sang happy birthday to her.
Eid Mubarak
On Friday here at Hugh Myddelton House we celebrated Eid-al-Fitr.
We enjoyed delicious traditional sweet treats and tea, while sharing stories and memories of past Eid celebrations with family.
National Scrabble Day
Residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton House marked National Scrabble Day hosting a day-long tournament to decide their ultimate Scrabble Star. Everyone enjoyed a game of Scrabble and some of our residents came up with new and improved ways to increase their letter and word scores. They have the most amazing vocabularies!
Easter Egg Hunt
Residents were joined by the children and staff from Anna's nursey for an Easter egg hunt in our garden. The children sang for us then went on the hunt for Easter eggs packed and hidden by the residents.
Winifred, resident at Hugh Myddelton House said, "hearing the children singing was absolutely lovely, it made me remember my younger days and so many happy thoughts."
Jean, resident said, "What a lovely day. The children are so positive and sure of themselves. Seeing them enjoy themselves really makes me happy, I loved spending time with the children."
