With festival season officially under way, a care home in Southampton is welcoming their local community for a fun-filled day of food and celebration. Care UK’s Carpathia Grange will open their doors to families and neighbours for a food festival, inviting guests to tuck in and celebrate the nation’s shared love of great cuisine, community and connection. From 11.30am–4pm, visitors to Carpathia Grange in Hythe will be transported on a tasting tour around the world. The delicious dishes on offer will be complemented by live music as residents, guests and team members show off their best moves dancing the afternoon away. The events are part of the ‘A Taste of Home’ initiative, which will see Care UK homes across the country host foodie-themed celebrations and showcase what life in a care home is really like. Each festival will offer sustainable, community-focused activities while celebrating the diversity and creativity within the homes, from residents’ favourite recipes to seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients.
