A Coronation Tea Party

The people living with us enjoyed a fantastic tea party to celebrate The King's Coronation. 

We had a buffet and had a drink of Baileys and Buck Fizz to celebrate the day. The people living with us had a good sing song and said that they had a lovely time. They asked if we could do this every week! 

The people living with us were also given a present to celebrate The Coronation. 

The King's Coronation at Woodland Care Home

To celebrate The King's Coronation over the weekend, we had a three day event. 

We had a buffet on the Saturday, a big party all day on the Sunday and a Royal party on the Monday. We had live music, a raffle, a BBQ and lots of cake. We also had our own Gold Carriage to take photos in. As well, our Woodland Mascot came to visit and we raised some money for charity.

More Movement sessions

When we're dancing, we're ✨smiling✨

Exercise increases your overall health and your sense of well-being, which puts more pep in your step every day. But exercise also has some direct stress-busting benefits. It pumps up your endorphins, making us happier and healthier!

Check us out in our weekly ✨More... Movement✨ sessions where we play our favourite tunes to get our bodies moving 💪

It's more than just movement 🎉

Abingdon Court's Coronation decorations

The King's coronation is a momentous occasion that calls for the utmost attention to detail when it comes to decoration and preparation. This event marks the beginning of a new era in the kingdom, and it is important to create an atmosphere that is both regal and celebratory 🎉👑

Rich shades of gold, burgundy, and royal blue are all popular choices for royal events, and can be used in everything from the drapes and tablecloths to the floral arrangements and centrepieces - we are even creating nail art inspired by the occasion!

The Kings Coronation Party

The Hawthorns have been getting very prepared for the King's Coronation.

They made their own decorations and hung these around the home. They then watched some live entertainment which was very fun.

King's Coronation Indoor Street Party

The Hawthorns held a brilliant indoor street party for the people living with us.

Everyone enjoyed a traditional English Buffet with a beautiful cake that our chefs made.

Woodland's Golden Carriage

Here at Woodland we have been making our very own photo booth for the Kings Coronation. We wanted to make a Golden Carriage for everybody to take photos in. 

It turned out really well, we charged £1 a photo and all the money raised went to charity.
