Hepworth House Care Home to host VE Day garden party for the community
Hepworth House Care Home in Stanley is inviting residents, families and members of the local community to come together for a special VE Day Garden Party.
The event, on May 8 at 3pm-5pm, will mark the anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, celebrating peace and remembering the end of the Second World War in Europe.
The afternoon will bring people of all ages together to reflect on this important moment in history while enjoying a traditional British garden party.
Guests can look forward to a lively programme of entertainment and activities throughout the afternoon, including a live saxophone performance, traditional afternoon tea, and a range of classic garden games for all ages.
There will also be a fancy dress competition, with prizes awarded for the best dressed resident, staff member and community guest.
Families and children are particularly welcome, with fun activities planned including pass the parcel, hopscotch, giant Jenga, and bat and ball games.
Refreshments will be available throughout the event, including a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Hayley Hirst, Front of House Manager at Hepworth House Care Home, said: “VE Day is an important moment in our history, and we’re really looking forward to bringing our residents, their families and the wider community together to celebrate.
"Events like this are a wonderful way to share memories, enjoy music and laughter, and create a real sense of community here at Hepworth House.”
Everyone is welcome to attend, and guests are encouraged to dress up and join in the celebrations.
