Activities at Wadhurst Manor Care Home
On a weekly basis we have many visitors to the home from the people like the University of the Third age and local small animal farms, who bring in their chickens and sheep. We also like to go out shopping and on day trips to local garden centres and when the weather is good picnics and tours of the beautiful local countryside. We have speciality days at the home which could be a theme of a country, or for specific times of year, including Halloween, Bonfire Night or Christmas. We have card games and art classes and a serious knitting team in the home who produce blankets and premature baby clothes for the local maternity unit.
Zoe Aldea
Hi, my name is Zoe and I am the Activities Lead at Wadhurst Manor.
I used to work with veterans for the Royal British Legion, and as an Art Studio Lead for a wonderful charity that built a village for people with learning disabilities.
I believe in the healing power of art, I feel strongly about building confidence and the wellness of our residents. My hobbies include Asian art and philosophy, acupuncture, yoga and martial arts. I believe art is a bridge that unites everyone no matter the race, beliefs or religion.

Don't Dine alone this Christmas
The General Manager and all the staff would like to extend their Christmas day meal to anyone who is lonely in the local community and enjoy a meal with them. Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas.
Carol Concert
Residents and their guests had a lovely time listening to the songs of Christmas, all performed by the very talented Children of Sacred Heart School. The afternoon ended with songs for everyone to join in too.
Sacred Heart Pantomime
Residents were lucky enough to be asked to watch the dress rehearsal of the Year 1 children's play. They took the roof off with their fabulous singing voices. A wonderful way to spend a day.
Joining in the Village Christmas Fun
So much Christmas cheer in the village. We joined in the festivities and held a stall giving away goody bags, mince pies and lots of Christmas treats. It was also a chance to have a chat with some of the staff too.
