Pinehurst’s May day fun

-

MAY DAY celebratio­ns were enjoyed by care home residents last week.

Pinehurst Care Centre, on Duke’s Ride in Crowthorne, held a special daytime event for May Day on Monday, May 3.

Staff and residents at the care home took part in a full day of festivitie­s to honour the bank holiday.

The celebratio­n included a maypole with colourful ribbons, where residents sat around it singing and dancing along to traditiona­l music.

Residents enjoyed shaking bells and banging claves together as part of the event.

The care centre also re-opened its garden pub for residents where the cost of drinks differed to the usual pub price list.

A gin cost one smile, a beer cost a wave, for two hugs residents enjoyed a glass of wine and a Pimms cost three kisses.

Victoria Pembroke, head of activities at Pinehurst Care Centre, said there was “lots of fun and laughter” on the day.
