Activities at Lancaster Grange Care Home

This evening we were delighted to welcome into our home members of the Newark and Sherwood Concert Band. Family and friends joined residents from all communities for a wonderful evening of Christmas music, from traditional carols to unforgettable Christmas songs. Warm mulled wine and homemade mince pies  brought us a festive atmosphere within our home.

Once again we’d like to warmly thank the band members for entertaining us this evening.
