Activities at Thistle Hill Care Home

Residents at Thistle Hill Care Centre were proud to celebrate all things Yorkshire on Yorkshire Day, August 1st. Yorkshire Day was first celebrated in 1975 in Beverly. The day commemorates the Battle of Minden between Britain-Hanover and French forces in 1759, along with the emancipation of British Empire slaves in 1834, for which Yorkshire MP William Wilberforce fought a tireless campaign.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

In celebration of National Ice Cream Day residents at Thistle Hill joined Wall’s Ice Cream for a virtual event.

We've learnt about the history of the Walls brand from launch in 1922 through major innovations such as the launch of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, Carte d’Or and more.

Residents and staff enjoyed a singalong to Cornetto classic ads and best-of-all, ice cream tasting session!
