ACTIVITIES, TRIPS AND SPECIAL OCCASIONS

At Summerhill, we offer you a varied and stimulating programme of entertaining activities. This includes excercise classes, aromatherapy, massages, relaxation, arts and crafts, poetry, bingo and flower arranging. Besides the weekly activities plan, there is a library, a DVD player, large flat screen television, high quality sound system and newspapers delivered daily.

We will encourage you to pursue your own interests and hobbies and staff are delighted to assist whenever necessary. Family members and the community are always invited to volunteer with activities and events. You are welcome to host friends and relatives for meals or tea whenever you wish.

Special events at Summerhill are special indeed when celebrated together. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Bonfire night are all marked with joyful festivities, whilst garden parties, barbeques and theme days are planned regularly to enhance the cheerful atmosphere.

A minister visits Summerhill once a month and you can be taken to other religious services if you wish. Trips are organised outside the home to museums and tourist spots in a ‘Summerhill Trippers’ van and if you are able to use it, public transport is easily accessible.
Our residents delight in the surrounding area of Alnwick, with its variety of quaint, picturesque shops and cafes all within walking distance.
