A Weekend of Coronation Fun at Weavers Court Care Home
Our Weavers Court home was awash with the colours of the Union flag as our resident’s marked the Coronation of King Charles III. Some of our residents were lucky enough to have memories of another Coronation, of Queen Elizabeth II, so our event sparked lots of memories and conversations about the two events.
For the Coronation itself, our residents settled into our cinema room to watch the event on our big screen. We have plenty of red, white and blue on display, with flags waved. Some of our residents even got into the spirit by donning union jack hats in honour of King Charles’ important event.
As with many gatherings up and down the country – and around the world – our residents watched the ceremony unfold, looking out for the historic moments and taking a look at the attendees in Westminster Abbey.
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed watching it together and it was the subject of plenty of conversations in Weavers Court on Saturday afternoon.
It’s hard to imagine that, by Sunday evening, all thoughts of the Coronation had been put to one side as our residents recounted the events of their own huge event at Weavers Court on Sunday.
Weavers Court Street Party
Sunday 7 May was a date to remember as Weavers Court held our first street party – in honour of King Charles’ III Coronation. It was a fantastic event and gave us all something to look forward to after the excitement of Saturday’s ceremony.
The team at Weavers Court opened our home up to families, friends and our local community to welcome them to join us for a day of fun, laughter and even dancing.
Stalls lined our outdoor area, giving the chance for our residents to get some retail therapy in what turned out to be a warm and sunny day. We all enjoyed some amazing food and drink, working our excesses off with by tripping the light fantastic to our live music. Our residents certainly got into the party mood.
For our younger visitors, our bouncy castle and face painting proved to be an enormous hit, with lots of bouncing, giggling and joy.
Our residents, friends, families and visitors joined in fund raising for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Watch this space for a final total.
From everyone at Weavers Court, we’d just like to wish everyone that came together to make the weekend such a special event that has created wonderful memories a very big THANK YOU!
