Saturday 9th August was a day to remember at Holmer Court Care Home, as our Club Tropicana-themed Summer Fete brought a burst of colour, laughter, and community spirit to Attwood Lane. From bright Hawaiian shirts to fruity mocktails, the tropical vibe was embraced by everyone – residents, families, staff, and visitors alike.

The afternoon was packed with entertainment, delicious food, and fun activities. Guests sipped on refreshing mocktails, tried their luck at Hook-a-Duck and classic fete games, browsed our stalls, and enjoyed tasty hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, and homemade cakes. Our very own mini beach proved a big hit, with children (and a few adults!) rolling up their sleeves for some sandy fun.
We’re thrilled to share that the event raised an amazing £728, which will directly benefit our residents through activities, outings, and special treats.

Our thanks also go to Sharon and Sarah for providing wonderful entertainment, filling the afternoon with music and laughter.
We were touched by the lovely feedback from those who attended. One family member said:
“What a lovely afternoon, a big thank you to you all at Holmer for organising and raising money for our loved ones.”
Another visitor shared:
“Everyone made such a lovely effort – it was a great day with a brilliant atmosphere.”
Our Home Manager, Claire Boulter, summed it up perfectly:
“It was a fabulous day and I’m so amazed by the amount of support we had. Thank you to everyone who came along, helped, and made it such a special occasion.”
From the laughter echoing across the garden to the colourful decorations and happy faces, our Summer Fete was everything we hoped it would be – a true celebration of friendship, community, and summer joy.
