Heanton Nursing Home Hosts Vibrant Mocktail Party
Heanton Nursing Home in Barnstaple recently turned up the energy with a vibrant Hawaiian-themed mocktail party, celebrating the spirit of community with its residents, affectionately known as family members. What began as a fun conversation about favourite cocktails soon evolved into an exciting event, fuelled by the family members' enthusiastic responses: “Oh yes, please, I’d love a cocktail if they’re going!”
The kitchen team prepared vibrant fruit platters that were as beautiful as they were delicious whilst team members dressed up in Hawaiian attire, including some borrowed shirts from team member Robin’s own collection.
Sabrina Stell, Home Administrator of Heanton Nursing Home said, “even though there was no alcohol, everyone agreed that the atmosphere and creativity made the event a huge success!” The mocktail party saw team and family members alike getting involved and sharing laughter and dancing - along with a few spills and plenty of smiles.
Heanton Nursing Home’s Hawaiian mocktail party highlighted the power of community and connection, showing how a shared vision and a little creativity can bring people together and brighten spirits. This event is just one example of the home’s dedication to the continuation of life, whilst building friendships, and celebrating every moment together.

Remembrance Day. Your poppy shows you care
Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Festival Hall
"This year's festival pays tribute to those who served in the decisive battles of 1944. From the Normandy landings and the subsequent campaign, to Monte Cassino and Kohima and Imphal in the Asian theatre.
We also recognise the 75th anniversary of the founding of Nato, and closer to the present, we remember the 457 serving men and women who lost their lives during operations in Afghanistan."
You can watch it live on BBC One at 9 pm on 9 November. - CATCH UP BBC iPlayer
