Activities at Sherwood Court Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Sherwood Court Care Home
Musical mystery tour
Our homes had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.
Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.
The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.
Summer fun
The sun was shining as residents, families and friends joined together for our annual Summer Fair with a whopping £150 being raised for our residents comfort fund. The homes hospitality team whipped up mouth-watering treats for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to everyone who kindly donated and coming along to make this so successful. It was a great day!
A trip to the pub
Today Residents managed to take a trip to the local pub for a spot of lunch and a change of scenery. Some relatives were able to join us too for a catch up. We look forward to the next trip!
Ruby
Here at Sherwood Court we try to create a homely atmosphere and as most of our residents have had a pet in their life time and miss the comfort of a animal, we are lucky to have Ruby, a 5 month old Staffordshire bull terrier, to visit most weeks to have a bit of puppy love with the residents and reminisce.

Opera performance
Our homes had a fabulous time with the talented soprano Astrid Joos from Street Theatre. Astrid spoke about a selection of famous operas and our residents were treated to performances of wonderful arias from operas well-known to all, such as ‘Giuditta’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’.
It was a lovely experience, truly enjoyed by all.
