Activities at Marnel Lodge 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 Marnel Lodge Care Home
The Flowers of Youth
We all had a wonderful afternoon doing flower arranging!
Push the Penny
Some gentlemen at Marnel Lodge have being enjoying games of 'Push the Penny' and a lovely drink or two at our Gentlemen's Club on Memory Lane.
Sleeping Beauty
Staff and friends of Marnel Lodge put on a performance of Sleeping Beauty this year. We all had a great time. Plans are now a foot for next year.
Christmas Time at Marnel Lodge
Residents had a great time making a Christmas cake here at Marnel Lodge. They wanted to do a Christmas tree design this year. We are now enjoying eating it. Our Head Chef made the other cake, which residents love.
Father Christmas also came to visit all the residents at Marnel Lodge. He liked our lovely Christmas tree.
Here is Jim enjoying Christmas Day after a nice Christmas dinner.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Christmas Cake
Folks at Marnel Lodge were spoiled for choice in terms of Christmas cakes; residents joined forces to bake one themselves (the one with the Christmas tree on it) and our Head Chef, Chris, also made one. They were delicious!
9 Years for Kerry
Kerry Thomas has worked for Barchester for 9 years. She is the longest serving member of staff at Marnel Lodge, and previously worked at Barchester's St Thomas before moving here. The residents decided that it would be nice to gift Kerry some chocolate for all her hard work.
