All spruced up at Middleton Hall Retirement Village🎄

It’s Christmastime once again, which means it was time to break out the Christmas lights! There’s something about seeing Christmas lights that can bring up feelings of nostalgia and the switch on offered residents, their families and Co-owners the chance to get in the festive spirit and see Middleton Hall transformed into a winter wonderland. The tree alone had 2,000 lights and the wooden Christmas trees you see as you approach reception from the drive, were made using wood from Middleton Hall and created by our amazing estates team.

The evening was kickstarted with traditional carols, led by a Middleton Hall independent resident whilst everyone gathered with mulled wine and mince pies.

The Christmas lights switch-on was the follow on event from our successful Christmas fair, which you can read more about here. Throughout December the festive events continue, with each care service having Christmas parties and independent residents have special events being held in The Orangery and Restaurant, including a festive afternoon tea!
