Activities at Snowdrop Place Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Snowdrop Place Care Home
Pub Lunch
The Cricketers Inn was the perfect setting for a gorgeous, summertime, pub lunch!
A few of the residents had said how they fancied a trip to the pub, so we took the minibus and did just that!
They had such a laugh together while enjoying their food and drinks in the sunshine. We will definitely be returning soon.
Scoops Boutique
Residents and staff had a visit from the Scoops Boutique vintage ice cream truck. They all had a choice of some wonderful flavours and it was perfect on such a hot summers day. We also invited the children over from the local pre-school; they were all very excited to have an ice cream!
Royal Celebrations
Snowdrop Place marked the Queen’s official 95th birthday in style with a right royal tea party. Head Chef, Josh, whipped up a tasty selection of freshly-baked biscuits, pastries and cakes for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea. Residents took part in a variety of royal–themed events.
A Stroll in the Sunshine
Residents took a stroll through Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in the sunshine. They ambled through, looking at plants and flowers, then relaxed by the pond. Having our minibus means we can get out to all these beautiful places.
National Vegetarian Week
To celebrate National Vegetarian Week, staff and residents were treated to an interactive virtual cookery demo, courtesy of chef, Alex Connell, from Vegetarian for Life.
Chef, Alex, whipped up some tasty, healthy vegetarian snacks in a live, interactive cookery demo. Much to residents’ delight, Head Chef, Josh, had prepared the same recipes so that residents could try all the dishes.
Residents sampled delicious, light and summery veggie dishes, including Borlotti bean and dill pate, Greek fritters with tzatziki and coronation 'chicken' pastries, all finished off with a sweet and simple but totally yummy banana bread.
VE Day
Residents at Snowdrop Place marked the anniversary of VE Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of reminiscing, music and laughter.
Head Chef, Josh, whipped up a delicious selection of freshly-baked cakes, sandwiches and pastries for the occasion, all washed down with a good old pot of tea.
Residents observed the national two-minute silence and listened again to Churchill’s iconic speech and an address from the Queen. They then went through items of a specially designed reminiscence box from the era kindly donated to us by SeaCity Museum and enjoyed discussing their memories.
