St. Patrick’s Night

March 2026 was a splendid month, kicking off with a truly memorable St. Patrick’s Night on the 17th.

The garden day room was festooned with green flags and the Irish Tricolour. The evening began with a fascinating talk on St. Patrick’s history and the significant contributions of the Irish community to Britain.

Residents embraced the theme, with a sea of green sweeping through the room.

The culinary highlight was Caroline’s production: a truly magnificent, Irish stew that had everyone going back for seconds. The festive atmosphere was complemented by plenty of Irish treats and a free raffle featuring traditional gifts, including the beloved Barry’s tea. Charmaine provided wonderful cakes.
