We had a very fun filled and busy day at this years Fete!

The line up for the day was 4 hours of live music by different performers, the Corps of Drums and the gorgeous animals from The Good Day Farm.We had many stall holders selling wonderful home made crafts. 

Throughout the day our chef supplied all with a mouth watering BBQ and delicious home made cakes.

It was such a lovely atmosphere as we warmly welcomed residents families, friends and members of the local community.

We were also delighted to being able to support significant fundraising for Tewkesbury Xmas Lights and Seren's Wish.

This week we welcomed Lauren Woods, Digital & Technology Navigator (Tewkesbury Borough) for a Keeping safe digitally talk.

A new initiative by Gloucestershire Rural Community Council, that supports digital inclusion, improving health and wellbeing, as well as building digital confidence use.

From learning how to use a smart phone, tablet or a computer, Lauren can also help with how to look out for scams, do's and don't 's, understand Technology and access digital services.

Lauren has booked one to one sessions with several residents who would like to learn new skills digitally and learn more about preventing scammers!

Residents and staff welcomed back the very popular and fantastic pianist Rob. Residents at Tewkesbury Fields enjoy and appreciate a varied array of music. Which is always a pleasure for us to listen to different tempos!

We spent the morning singing along to the popular classics played by Rob and always thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and loved reminiscing to tunes from the past.

Many of our residents played musical instruments in previous years and it is always a pleasure to listen to them recalling their favourite instruments and pieces of music.

From knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery and paper/fabric crafts, this week we've had a good selection of crafts at Tewkesbury Fields.

Residents have also started some of their own projects which are looking amazing, we look forward to showing all the completed works.

Another very interesting afternoon learning more about the history around Tewkesbury with the fantastic team from The John Moore Museum, Tewkesbury.

During the visit, Heritage Manager Kirstie Bingham and her team delivered the "Natural themed" talk, where residents got to learn so much and had the opportunity to ask questions.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Leadon Vale Community Choir. The residents loved listening and participating alongside the choir

Thank you so much for bringing such joy and fun to everyone, not just the singing but also the jokes and stories that you shared between each song. Everyone commented on how much they've enjoyed the visit!
