On Friday 7th August from 2.30pm–4.30pm, Care UK’s Field Lodge will open its doors to families and neighbours for a free food festival, inviting guests to tuck in and celebrate the nation’s shared love of great cuisine, community and connection. 

Visitors to the London Road home can look forward to enjoying a range of dishes made from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, providing a home-from-home experience. 

The multi-national team members will also regale guests with stories about their cultures through a collective appreciation of food, as well as demonstrating how thoughtful food choices can support a more environmentally aware community. 

The event is 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. 

Linda Martinez, Home Manager at Field Lodge, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting our very own food festival! 

“We are part of a strong community here in St Ives, and days like this are a wonderful way of bringing people together to celebrate our love of food while giving residents the opportunity to share their favourite recipes and traditions with younger generations. 

“The afternoon not only promises a lot of laughter, but it is also an excellent way for residents to meet and mingle with lots of new faces – and some familiar ones. We can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors.”
