Britain's What's On Event Guide
Big Care UK Sports Day @ Ferndown Manor
With the Olympics fast approaching, care homes across Dorset are limbering up for their very own sporting tournaments.
On Tuesday 23rd July, from 2pm-4pm, Care UK’s Ferndown Manor on Golf Links Road, Ferndown, will be bringing Paris to Dorset as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
Meanwhile, The Potteries, on York Road, Broadstone, will welcome the public on Thursday 25th July, from 2pm-4pm, for a day of sporting fun.
The events come as both homes join The Big Care UK Sports Day, which sees over 130 Care UK homes across the UK hosting sports days for the local community and showcase what life in a care home is really like.
Guests can soak up the sporting atmosphere and, for those daring to compete, have the chance to win their own gold medals with an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, tug of war and other Sports Day classics.
At Ferndown Manor, visitors can also enjoy summer refreshments while listening to live entertainment from a DJ throughout the afternoon.
Meanwhile, at The Potteries guests can tuck into a barbecue and complimentary refreshments, along with trying their hand at archery, tug of war and enjoying a special opening ceremony and prize-giving by the Deputy Mayor. To top it off, a seated musical exercise class will be run by David Lloyd Leisure.
