A Stoke Bardolph care home held its annual Autumn Fayre this week, which welcomed residents, relatives, colleagues, and members of the wider community.
The grounds of Rivendell View care home were transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, with a charming pumpkin patch taking centre stage.
Families and visitors enjoyed posing for seasonal photographs among the pumpkins, while children explored the bouncy castle and joined in with a variety of traditional autumn games, including the ever-popular hook an apple.
Guests were also treated to a cosy hot chocolate station, which proved especially popular on the crisp autumn afternoon, along with an array of local stalls offering crafts, gifts, and homemade treats. To complete the festivities, visitors enjoyed lively entertainment from local performers.
In addition, raffles and fundraising activities were held throughout the event, with all proceeds going towards enhancing experiences for residents at Rivendell View.
The Fayre was especially meaningful for residents, who enjoyed spending time with loved ones, meeting new faces from the community and soaking up the joyful atmosphere. Many residents even joined in the preparations, helping to decorate the home with seasonal displays and greeting visitors as they arrived.
Cara Stockill, home manager at HC-One’s Rivendell View Care Home said: “The Autumn Fayre was a truly special day for us all here at Rivendell View. Seeing residents, families, and local neighbours come together to celebrate the season was heart-warming. Our colleagues worked incredibly hard to organise the event, and the joy it brought to our residents made every effort worthwhile.”
