Visitors
enjoyed a range of games, including Guess How Many Sweets Are in the Jar,
Name the Teddy, Hook a Duck, and the ever-popular Splat the
Rat. The fair also featured a variety of stalls, such as hair braiding, a
book stall, locally handmade children’s clothes, tea and coffee, cake sale,
face painting and more.
Singer
Zara King provided live entertainment throughout the afternoon which had a
couple of family members dancing non-stop, and later announced the winners of
the raffle as the day came to a close. Signature mocktails were served by small
business Botanic, alongside ice creams from the East Devon Ices van. Local
neighbours Bella and her mum Liz sold home-baked cakes to support Bella’s
school trip to New York and Hospice Care also supported the fair with a tombola
stall.
Team
members brought along their children to enjoy the activities and help run
stalls, creating opportunities for intergenerational connections within the
home. Leftover books and prizes from the stalls have since been donated to the
Tipton Fete, ensuring the community continues to benefit from the day’s success.
Sundial Care Home is nestled in the heart of Tipton St John, and has long been known for their strong community involvement. The care home places great importance on maintaining strong community connections for those who live there, supporting their wellbeing and sense of identity. Many family members come from the surrounding area, and events like the Summer Fair support them to stay close to their community, while also giving those from further afield the chance to build new community connections.
