Activities at Marple Dale 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.
Lewis Timperley
Hi, my name is Lewis. I joined the team in September 2021 as a general assistant and then moved to the activities team in January 2022. Most recently I became Activities Team Leader in December 2023, it has been a great journey here at Marple Dale and can’t wait to continue. I love my role as one of the homes Activity Coordinators, and love finding out new and exciting ways to engage residents with activities and each other.
Here at Marple Dale we try to do as many different activities as we can, to keep our residents as active as possible, as it is so important to keep active. I love what I do and love knowing that our residents have so much enjoyment from such a wide variety of activities.

Life at Marple Dale Care Home
Matlock Bath
We went on the cable cars at Matlock Bath to the heights of Abraham. Residents thought this was fantastic and said that they had never been so high up in the sky,
Stockport Hat Works
We went to the Stockport Hat Works to learn about the history of the town. We tried on many different hats and enjoyed a tour of the museum.
The Beatles Story
We took residents to The Beatles Story in Liverpool, 'the world's largest permanent exhibition purely devoted to the lives and times of The Beatles'. It really brought back good memories for residents, as The Beatles was a favourite band of many of them. We also enjoyed the Liverpool docks.
Bonfire Night
Friends, family and residents enjoyed Bonfire Night here at Marple Dale.
Christmas at Marple Dale
Residents have been enjoying the festive season here at Marple Dale.
School Christmas Party
We have been working closely with our local schools, and were recently invited to Marple Hall's Christmas party. Residents really enjoyed the event!
