The Grove Care Home hosts Oktoberfest celebration in Waltham for residents and local community

The Grove Care Home in Waltham recently welcomed residents, families, and the local community to enjoy an autumn-inspired Oktoberfest celebration. Inspired by the care home’s picturesque surroundings of trees and greenery, the event celebrated all things autumn, bringing a festive atmosphere to The Grove Care Home.

“Our Oktoberfest featured local stalls, a fun raffle and tombola, beer tasting, a pumpkin carving station, live entertainment, and so much more for everyone to enjoy,” said Customer Relations Manager Ros Wells.

“The local community’s generous support helped us raise £359, which will go towards extra special activities, entertainment, and future events for our residents,” shared Wellbeing Coordinator Michelle Bloy. “The turnout and enthusiasm from everyone involved made the day extra special.”

One guest commended Oktoberfest, saying: “Well done to everyone involved” and “I’ve enjoyed getting out and seeing you all and browsing the stalls.”

Customer Relations Manager Ros Wells shared: “Hosting such a large community event at The Grove Care Home was truly meaningful, as it has allowed us to showcase our newly extended and refurbished spaces. This extension unlocks exciting possibilities for future events and helps us warmly connect the local community with our residents.”

Home Manager Cheryl Shorter commented: “Thank you to everyone who supported us. We look forward to making Oktoberfest an annual event for residents, families, and the Community in Waltham, offering a taste of autumn and to showcase our wonderful facilities and dedicated staff team here at The Grove Care Home.”
