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.

Pumpkin Carving
Volunteer, Amy Smith, Came in to help carve pumpkins in readiness for our Halloween party. It was an enjoyable afternoon!
25th Anniversary Celebrations
Folks at Wadhurst Manor had lots of fun celebrating 25 years of Barchester. We got into the spirit of the celebrations with a glass of Prosecco to welcome guests; they were then treated to a cabaret-style magic show, performed by Marco the Magician, which was enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors alike. The afternoon concluded with our guests enjoying an excellent buffet supper with residents.
Wadhurst Ukulele Group
What an amazing time we had when Wadhurst Ukulele Group came to play. There was lots of singing and clapping along to old favourites, as well as a few we had not heard before. Everyone agreed that it was a lovely afternoon and we hope to book them again at Christmas.
This Could Spell Trouble
