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
Baubles
We all had a wonderful time joining Jennifer Owen - founder of Goldfinch Floral Studio for a creative floral bauble workshop.
Jennifer transported our residents to the out of the ordinary world of flowers and crafts and demonstrated how to create stunning hand-made baubles filled with dried flowers and grasses.
Our residents enjoyed filling and decorating their own glass baubles and their unique creations will be displayed at the home for everyone to enjoy.
Christmas fun
It s absolutely fabulous to see smilies on everyone's faces this Christmas and so many people joining in with the fun at Sherwood Court, our residents are enjoying a lot of festive fun as we countdown to Christmas.
Blenheim Palace
Our residents were thrilled to join Antonia Keaney - Blenheim Palace’s Historian for an intriguing virtual talk on Winston Churchill.
The private resources of Blenheim Palace were drawn upon to afford very new and refreshing insights into this remarkable man. During the talk Antonia shared fascinating information about the breadth of talent, achievement and personality of the "Greatest Briton": soldier, politician, statesman, painter, writer, orator, family man - and bricklayer!
We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed learning more about UK’s former Prime Minister.
Christmas wreaths
Residents had a lovely creative afternoon with a group activity creating our Christmas wreath. We had a lot of fun together, enjoying a drink of our favourite tipple, lots of laughs and reminiscing about our favourite Christmas traditions.
Armistice Day
Residents have been out into the community to pay their respects on Armistice day. They created a lovely red rose flower wreath, before everyone got on the bus for a trip into Preston town to the cenotaph to lay their wreath. It was a special moment to be with ex-service personnel sharing their stories before enjoying a spot of lunch.
Blackpool illuminations
Residents of Sherwood Court wrapped up warm and boarded the homes mini bus to enjoy a night out to see the Blackpool illuminations. The trip was a lot of fun with delicious treats of fresh doughnuts purchased as residents shared their memories of childhood visits to the popular northern destination.
