Our clients enjoy socialising, crafts, cooking and entertainment. Everyday is different and we tailor our activities to the things our clients enjoy, together with seasonal celebrations, what’s happening locally and in the wider world. Our fees are transparent and fully inclusive of all drinks, snacks, a two-course hot lunch and all activities and VAT.
