Our Coronation Celebrations were fit for the King!

We were delighted that friends and family, of all generations, could join us to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.

Our residents had a fantastic time! Our amazing staff really went to town on the decorations and activities, to make it a memorable occasion for everyone.

Lasting memories made at Barton Lodge

Our residents loved getting fully involved in the preparations for the King’s Coronation day. We all sat down to make decorations together, including beautiful flowers, paper chains and a God Save the King poster. We also created some lovely wall art to decorate our home, using sponges to paint flowers in the traditional British colours, red, white and blue.

The ladies had a pampering session to get ready for the big day, having their nails painted in patriotic colours.

On the day, we all got together to watch the Coronation, our residents, family and friends were treated to a lavish afternoon tea. The tables were decorated with Union Jack table cloths and the cake stands were topped with beautifully knitted crowns. There was a delicious array of sweet treats, with scones topped with cream and jam, cupcakes, chocolate eclairs and so much more!

Our wonderful volunteer, Tracy, made a sensational Coronation-themed red, white and blue tiered cake, complete with cupcakes topped with the special Coronation emblem. For us all to enjoy while watching the Coronation, it was delicious!

Our residents also enjoyed a traditional British lunch of fish and chips or Coronation quiche and were delighted to have their photos taken with King Charles III and Queen Camilla (cardboard cutouts) to mark the occasion.

To make lasting memories, the residents had lots of fun taking selfies, with props and Union Jack hats. Our youngest guests enjoyed having a go at playing croquet and hook a duck out on our lovely lawn. We had great entertainment and a Pimms trolley that everyone loved!
