Britain's What's On Event Guide
Care UK Sports Day - Suffolk care homes
With the Olympics fast approaching, local care home residents are limbering up for their very own sporting tournament.
Care UK’s Cedrus House, on Bittern Cresent, Cleves Place, on Millfields Way, Hartismere Place, on Castleton Way, and Mills Meadow, on Fore street, will be bringing Paris to Suffolk as they open their doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The events come as these four homes join The Big Care UK Sports Day, which sees over 130 Care UK homes across the UK host 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 knockout tennis tournaments.
There are four events to choose from across the region:
• Hartismere Place – Sunday 21st July from 11am
• Cedrus House – Friday 26th July from 2pm
• Cleves Place – Saturday 27th July from 1:30pm
• Mills Meadow – Saturday 20th July from 11am
Visitors to Cleves Place, Hartismere Place, and Cedrus House can enjoy refreshments, a barbecue, and performances from live entertainers. Cleves Place will also feature interactive stalls, face painting, and a fun temporary tattoo station.
Mills Meadow visitors will also enjoy a summer barbecue prepared by the home's head chef. A DJ will also be in attendance for residents to enjoy music while participating in the games.
