Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Boroughbridge Manor care home to enjoy a Summer Fete that was held in the home’s grounds on Sunday July 28.

Boroughbridge Manor hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including a tombola, bottle stall, pick’n’mix sweet station, garden games and staff took turns to head into the stocks, allowing the children to soak them with the sponges, all of which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.There was entertainment provided all afternoon by the fantastic Rebekah Austin too.

Staff at Boroughbridge Manor care home made everyone feel welcome and were delighted to see different generations having fun together. Visitors enjoyed plenty of refreshments, including cold fizzy drinks, homemade burgers and a variety of delicious cakes prepared by the catering team, who were hard at work making sure that a great time was had by all – it really was a team effort!

Resident, Josie, said, “I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was surrounded by lots of great people, and it was wonderful to see all the children playing so happily together. The weather was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Staff did a great job, not just on the day, but organising the event and getting everyone together.”
