Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lights, camera, action at Scarlet House
A Stroud care home is inviting local people to a free film screening of Mary Poppins at its private cinema.
From 2.30pm on 3rd August, the team at Scarlet House on Westward Way, Ebley, is welcoming the community to join residents at their monthly movie matinee.
The home runs regular screenings open to the public, providing the ideal venue to enjoy a feature film in an intimate, relaxed and cosy surrounding.
As well as free entry to the film, guests can also enjoy complimentary refreshments and meet the team at Scarlet House.
Suzanne Tullett, Home Manager at Scarlet House, said: “Here at Scarlet House, we encourage residents to continue activities that they enjoyed in their younger years. Going to the pictures was a popular pastime for many residents, and our cinema has been designed to allow them to enjoy classic, ‘feel good’ films in the comfort of their home.
“As well as being a fun activity, watching films can also be a valuable reminiscence activity, especially for those living with dementia.
“We’re delighted to be able to open our cinema room up for the wider community to enjoy and look forward to welcoming a mixture of new and familiar faces.”
The cinema has 11 seats so booking in advance is essential.
Scarlet House is a state-of-the-art care home which provides full-time residential, nursing, dementia, and short-term respite care. The care home incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities and includes its own cinema, hair salon and café.
