Activities at Mallard Court Care Home

We had a fabulous afternoon here at Mallard Court with a visit from Furry Friends Animal Therapy.

They brought a variety of animals for us to enjoy, including Jack the Giant Rabbit, Smokey the Bearded Dragon & Monty the Python.

It was a special therapy event which everyone enjoyed; residents, visitors and staff!

We have regular monthly Church Services here at Mallard Court, with the various Church members performing lovely services for our residents, visitors and staff to enjoy together.

We would like to thank Emmanuel Church, Churches Together and Harbourside Church Bridlington, providing the services and look forward to seeing them in 2026.

We had a fabulous time at our annual Christmas Fayre on Saturday 22nd November.

There was a lovely atmosphere with residents, families, visitors and staff, enjoying the seasonal event together.

We had a special guest, Deputy Mayor Ray Pollard, joining us on our special occasion.

We had a lovely selection of stalls including members of Creative Collective Bridlington, with a variety of quality seasonal handmade craft.

A very enjoyable day for all.     

Staff and residents had a wonderful time feeling the love on World Kindness Day. The staff and residents got into the spirit of the day, making lots of kind gestures, such as giving kindness cards and delivering treats for residents out into the local community. They proved that being kind to each other really does make the world a better place.

Celebrated annually on November 13, World Kindness Day focusses on the idea of people being nicer towards each other for the day by carrying out simple acts of kindness for someone else. The day’s ultimate goal is to increase the value that we as a society place on kindness and to make it a bigger part of our daily lives.
 

Mallard Court care home in Bridlington, would like to say a huge thank you to members of the Bridlington Priory Church.

They have donated these lovely hand-made knee blankets and twiddle fiddle muffs to our residents on Memory Lane. We are really looking forward to our monthly Bridlington Churches Together Service, every third Thursday at 2.30pm, which includes members of the Priory Church.

We would also like to bring to your attention the Priory Church "Caring Café", which is especially for those who have memory loss of any kind, including Dementia and those who care for them.

Mallard Court’s chefs and residents will be baking delicious home-made buns to donate to the “Caring Café.”

The café will be open every Thursday afternoon, 2pm-4pm.      

Our lovely resident Betty celebrated her birthday with a special visit from a band. She is a member of “The Jolly Roger Ukulele Band”

Everyone joined in this fun-filled musical afternoon singing along to some of our favourite tunes.

We look forward to seeing the band in 2006!

Residents and guests enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment with a live music performance that took place at the home.  Hilderthorpe Primary School pupils performed a selection of Christmas songs, including their beautiful version of “Feliz Navidad”

Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the children performed a lovely variety of Christmas songs. The Activity Team at the home provided a spread of sweets and treats for the children to enjoy after the show.

Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Fayre.

There were all kinds of stalls on offer, manned by volunteers from Creative Collective Bridlington, friends and family, and lots of local stallholders came along to sell their wares too. There were a variety of delicious cakes, lovely craft items, fabulous crocheted gifts, including a Tombola and much more.

The team at Mallard Court care home would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home. There was a fantastic atmosphere, and it was lovely and heart-warming to see our residents, visitors and staff enjoying the day together.

A special thank you to Deputy Mayor Ray Pollard for attending the event and enjoying the occasion with everyone.

Residents, guests and staff enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of live musical entertainment.

The performance was a live musical tribute to the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley, that took place at the home. Local singer Ian Deakin performed a selection of classic Elvis’s Rock & Rolls hits and romantic ballads and Ian interacted really well with the audience.
 

Here at Mallard Court we had a lovely afternoon to 'celebrate the rose.'

This was a special day to embrace and acknowledge the rose, it's deep cultural symbolism of love, beauty, passion and devotion.

This stems from ancient Greek and Roman myths, and has been immortalised in art, literature, and traditions like Valentine's Day and Rose Day. We enjoyed an arts session and flower craft, along with Roses Chocolates and a glass or two of Baileys!   

Mallard Court residents, visitors and staff enjoyed a visit from the local Our Lady & St Peter RC Primary School.

They sang a lovely variety of seasonal songs for everyone to join in together.

We love our visits by the children of the  local Schools and Nurseries, they are such special heart-warming occasions for us to enjoy!

Brothers Tony and Mike, of singing duo “Dim*Sum” entertained residents, visitors and staff with a fabulous live musical performance.

We sang along to a variety of our favourite songs, and it was a very uplifting and enjoyable afternoon.

They dedicated the lovely song “The Fields of Athenry” to our lovely Irish resident Patricia, which was a very moving experience for her.

Dim*Sum means “Touch the Heart” and they certainly did! We look forward to their next visit in 2026.   

Residents and guests enjoyed an afternoon of fun and laughter with a live music performance that took place at the home.  The very talented Hannah from “Once Upon a Tune” performed a selection of classical piano and interactive music to entertain residents, visitors and staff.

“Once Upon a Tune” brings live classical piano and interactive music sessions to care homes,  adult day centres, assisted living, early year settings, and community groups.

The residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as Hannah performed a variety of popular songs, along with a variety of fun props for everyone to join in with.

Residents, visitors and staff had a fabulous morning together, here at Mallard Court.  

We had a very special guest, Becky, a member of the charity Creative Collective Bridlington, assisting us with creating a beautiful Autumnal feature. Becky is such a creative and talented individual, and will be returning to Mallard Court next week, to finish the project, which will be a fabulous masterpiece, for everyone to enjoy.

Becky will be a regular visitor joining the activity team, and we are getting really excited about our Christmas crafting sessions with Becky.

Residents, visitors and staff held fundraising events for the Alzheimer’s Society and Macmillan Cancer Support. We held fun coffee mornings with prize a Tombola and delicious cakes for sale.

We really enjoy our fundraising events for everyone to participate in the fun.
