Britain's What's On Event Guide
Care UK Sports Day - Bury St Edmunds care homes
With the Olympics fast approaching, three local care homes are limbering up for their very own sporting tournaments.
Care UK’s Davers Court, on Shakers Lane, Glastonbury Court, on Glastonbury Road, and Mildenhall Lodge, on St John’s Close, will be bringing Paris to Bury St Edmunds as they open their doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as the 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.
Visitors at Davers Court, whose event takes place on Tuesday 23rd July from 12.30pm, can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef.
On Thursday 25th July from 11am, visitors to Glastonbury Court event can enjoy light refreshments and entertainment from live performers Barry and Pete in the morning and Paul Pleasants in the afternoon.
Also on Thursday 25th from 2pm, Mildenhall Lodge visitors can enjoy light refreshments and live music performed by Pam Daish.
