Holistic Experiences at Mary Rose Manor: What’s On This September & October

At Mary Rose Manor, we believe that life in a care home should be filled with meaningful moments, new experiences, creativity, friendship and plenty of fun.

That’s why our activities programme is designed around more than simply keeping busy.

Our Holistic Experiences programme brings together wellbeing, connection, creativity and community, giving residents plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves, discover new interests and spend quality time together.

This September and October, we have another fantastic programme of care home activities and events at Mary Rose Manor, with something for everyone to enjoy.

September at Mary Rose Manor

💃 Spanish Dancing & Games with Guests – Thursday 24 September

We’ll be enjoying a taste of Spanish culture with an afternoon of Spanish dancing and games, with guests joining us for this special session.

Taking place from 10am–12pm, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy music, movement, laughter and a little bit of cultural exploration.

☕ Coffee, Cake and Kindness – Friday 25 September

What better way to finish September than with coffee, cake and good company?

October brings a wonderful selection of seasonal activities, creative sessions, music, relaxation and Halloween fun.

🎨 Autumn Creative Session – Thursday 8 October

👻 Halloween Fun – Thursday 29 & Friday 30 October

We’re ending October with some spooky fun!

Then, on Friday 30 October, the Halloween celebrations continue with cupcakes and games to bring the month to a fun-filled close.

Creating a Kinder, Healthier and Happier Community

At Mary Rose Manor, our activities programme is about so much more than filling the day.

Our Holistic Experiences programme is designed to support different aspects of wellbeing, including mind, body, community, creativity and friendship.

From singing familiar songs and sharing memories to getting creative, enjoying a hand massage, dancing, baking and simply having a cup of tea together, every activity provides an opportunity for residents to connect with the people around them and enjoy meaningful moments.

We also recognise that everyone is different. Some residents may love getting involved in group activities, while others may prefer quieter creative sessions or simply sitting down with a cup of tea and having a chat. Our varied programme means there are opportunities for everyone to participate in a way that feels comfortable and enjoyable for them.

A Care Home Where Every Day Can Bring a New Experience

We believe that moving into a care home should not mean giving up the things that make life enjoyable.

At Mary Rose Manor, we aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where residents can continue to explore their interests, make new memories and enjoy meaningful relationships.

Our September and October programme is packed with opportunities to create, connect, reminisce, relax, laugh and have fun together.

Whether it’s a seaside singalong, a slice of cake and a cup of coffee, an afternoon of country music or some Halloween creativity, we’re looking forward to making plenty of small moments and big memories together.

Keep an eye on the Mary Rose Manor activities programme for more upcoming events and experiences.
