Middleton Hall Village Show brings residents and the wider community together

The popular Middleton Hall Village Show returned with a fantastic turnout, welcoming residents, families and members of the wider community for a day packed with entertainment, activities and fun.

The free event featured something for everyone, including medieval re-enactments from Vanguard Medieval Re-enactment, performances from Locos in Motion Border Morris Group, music from the Darlington Salvation Army Band and guided tours of Middleton Hall’s beautiful gardens.

Visitors could also explore the Craft & Produce Show, browse a variety of shopping stalls, admire classic cars and enjoy a barbecue and refreshments throughout the event.

Medieval re-enactors brought a little piece of 13th-century history to Middleton Hall’s care services, where they met residents and created some memorable reactions and conversations.

Adam Wardale, Managing Director Designate at Middleton Hall Retirement Village, said: “It has been lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves, and the Village Show was a fantastic way to round off our summer events programme.

“One of the highlights was seeing the reactions of our residents when the medieval re-enactors visited our care services.”

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the Village Show such a success, as well as our Craft & Produce Show judges, Deborah Laing and Marion Ogle. Thank you also to Mr Whippy North for providing ice creams on the day.

It was a wonderful celebration of the Middleton Hall community and a fitting way to round off a brilliant summer of events.
