This August, Care UK's Ladybrook Manor is opening its 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.
On Thursday 6th August, from 2.30pm-4.30pm, the Dairyground Road home will take locals on a tasting tour around the world. The event will feature food stalls, which will bring residents’ stories to life by serving up some of their favourite recipes.
Resident Stephanie, who is looking forward to reliving the food from her childhood, said: “I worked in a Ukrainian deli from the age of 13 and remember sharing wonderful homemade bread with my mother.”
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 showcase sustainable, community-focused initiatives while celebrating the diversity and creativity within the homes, from residents’ favourite recipes and traditional dishes to seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients.
