Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

At the beginning of 'London Fashion week', we held our very own rainbow themed "Fashion Show"

So much fun and laughter went along on the red carpet and to include some fabulous dancing and glamour.

Residents and staff created such a fantastic event together by wearing the most colourful clothing, fancy hats and dancing along to the 50’s songs.

Well done to the 3 winners!

Residents visited Cotswold RDA and enjoyed RDA Tea with a Pony.

We had the privilege to watch a riding lesson whilst enjoying a lovely cup of tea or coffee with a slice of cake, before meeting and stroking the ponies Bruno and Oreo.

Many memories were shared by our residents, from when they worked as a Horse Riding instructor, others when they visited the Racecourse during the Races week or going for a horse ride.

Such a meaningful activity for our residents.

We can't wait to return, thank you all the team for the hospitality, what better way to enjoy a cup of tea with a pony.

This Easter, we are supporting local charities and businesses by giving hampers to raise money to a charity of their choice.

We’ve welcomed Rachel Langdon local Councillor and landlady of the Nottingham Arms Tewkesbury,

Libby and Patrick Cleal and their children from Seren's Wish Charity, two members of Twyning Community Parade Team

And Carol Crilly, who won the regional Pride of Britain Award 2023, to receive their hampers.

We’ve travelled all the way back to the 50s!

Speakers Virginia and David from Gloucestershire Local History Association, visited Tewkesbury Fields and presented the talk and demonstration called "Those were the days". They've got such a fabulous collection of reminisce items that it got every resident talking about stories and memories from their past.

Everyone reminisced about the Queen's coronation, baby's clothes, toys, teenagers clothing, school items, fashion, smoking, simple things such as a collar box, and so much more!

It was a very knowledgeable talk and a fantastic afternoon.

We've welcomed Jenny from Wren’s Birds of Prey who brought three beautiful owls.

Residents greatly enjoyed learning about the owls and how important conservation is for the UK to continue to have such incredible birds living in the wild.

It was such an incredible experience to be up so close, to touch, hold each of them, and to include bedroom visits.

Thank you Jenny for a great afternoon, it was a fantastic experience.

Some of the team members and residents got to see this marvellous exhibition by Luke Jerram!

"Internally lit, Gaia comes into its own during the evening when the light is low and there is a more profound sense of what it might be like to see Earth from space. A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth".

A fabulous experience that our lovely residents got to enjoy.
