Activities at Tewkesbury Fields 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.

As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Hawaiian Themed Afternoon
What a fabulous Hawaiian themed afternoon.
We welcomed Cheltenham Ukulele Group who played some of our favourite songs beautifully and got us all dancing, clapping, singing along and even in the mood to dress up for great fun.
The chef prepared delicious fresh fruit, refreshments and a tasty pineapple upside-down cake that was enjoyed by everyone.
Organ Recitals at Tewkesbury Abbey
This week we attended the Lunch time organ recitals at Tewkesbury Abbey.
We were welcomed by Head Verger Chris Skepper, we listened to David Beeby play.
The residents at Tewkesbury Fields enjoy visits to the beautiful Abbey and have a great appreciation of organ recitals. We are very fortunate that they are holding them every 2 weeks throughout July/August and September and we look forward to attending as many as possible.
We also met Eric and Florence, the newly appointed "Assistant vergers". What two lovely dogs!
Visit to the Garden Centre
We were not impressed with the weather this week! We were planning a trip to sit by the river, but the weather was not kind. So we went to one of our favourite local garden centres.
At Tewkesbury Fields are residents always enjoy a visit to the garden centre looking at the beautiful plants and having a coffee.
Celebrating World Chocolate Day
We had a fantastic time celebrating world chocolate day. surely one of the best days of the year!
Life enrichment team and head chef prepared delicious melted chocolate with lots of strawberries, bananas, grapes and raspberries. We enjoyed mixing up and creating our own flavours - and did not spill any!
Ballroom Dancing
What a pleasure we all had watching two professionals dance for us.
This week we welcomed Terry and Jenny for a fabulous performance of Ballroom dancing demonstration to our residents. We watched them waltz, tango and foxtrot, We certainly had our feet tapping
It was such a great afternoon of reminisce and fun together. We will look forward to welcoming them back very soon.
Violinist Morning Performance
We had a very classical Saturday morning listening to Meg play beautifully the violin.
She played a wide range of music, we had some pieces from Opera and well known musicals.
Meg played in both lounges and then enjoyed learning about Marion's interest in the musical instruments as her father owned a music shop.
Such a relaxing and beautiful sound
