What is Halloween without pumpkins?  We set to work at Deepdene creating the most fantastic pumpkins.  Its was so much fun.

The recent Halloween party at Deepdene was amazing. The staff team gave everyone living in the home their best Halloween catwalk show.  There were prizes for the best dressed ghouls or witches with some well-deserved prizes.

New decorations at Abbey View, a lot of red poppies all around so we can commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts,

Thank you, The Royal British Legion, for leaving us poppies so we can all have a opportunity to donate. Remembrance Day- Lest We Forget

On Bonfire night Guy Fawkes visited all of our residents who thought he was great.  He even enjoyed a game of bingo and handed out prizes before he visited people in their rooms.

This year we held a masquerade ball for Halloween. Residents spent lots of time creating their masks and costumes prior to the day. There was live entertainment from Andy T, we all had an absolute blast.

Allingham House is an international environment where people all around the world work together giving the best of themselves to deliver the best caring assistance to our residents. For that reason, we like to include our residents on popular festivals in other countries. A perfect opportunity for the residents to enjoy different activities and learn a bit more about different traditions in other cultures.

Our ladies enjoyed being tattooed with spooky characters for the day!

A beer made the process pain free!

Our selection of our home made Halloween cakes.   

This year for Halloween the home and residents decided to turn the reception area into a spooky spiders lair. Everyone gave their opinions and added their artistic fair to the decorating around the home.

For the Halloween Party we had Entertainment from one of our regular Entertainers. The kitchen team created a Halloween lunch and made a Halloween high tea with spooky cakes and desserts for everyone to enjoy. We also played Games and finished the day with a bit of karaoke.
