Joining us this evening was a young gentleman called Michael ( aged 16!) who is starting out doing small gigs here and there, entertaining people with his close up card magic. He really enjoyed meeting the owners and wowed them with his magic and charm.
Chez Fred boasts the best fish and chips in Bournemouth and has always been popular here at Brompton so any excuse will do to order in a takeaway!

We had the pleasure of Roxanne, a folk/sea shanti musician, returning to Brompton, performing a mixture of her own works and well-known songs. A very talented lady with a beautiful voice… Her loyal companion, Rebel, a beautifully behaved collie was an added extra enjoyed by all. A lovely afternoon indeed.
What better way is there to celebrate than a Brompton coffee morning with warm Welsh cakes. John was back on his organ, playing a few Welsh tunes for our Welsh ladies, Olwyn and Eira. We had a good turnout!
On a cold winter’s night, we had a good number on Thursday 11th January for our ever-popular Beetle Drive… 'Beetle' is simply a game of rolling dice and drawing a beetle! Hosted by fellow residents, John and Margaret Guthrie, our owners turn up and join in for a simple but fun evening at Brompton.
Continuing the Christmas celebrations with fine food and drink at Brompton Court! Thank you once again to Chef Fernanda and her team, Ashley, Daniel and Tracey, and to Duty Manager's Frances and Suzie.
One Line John’s Fun Music Quiz
Talk about blowing your own trumpet… Anyone who is familiar with one particular Brompton owner John, knows he likes to burst into song at any opportunity, usually with just one line… but tonight he was full of puff as he played a few notes on his trumpet and (thankfully) others were able to ‘name that tune!’ He even had his organ on display to tinkle with once his puff failed to last the course… There were prizes for the winners and John was a very good sport hosting the event with assistance from good friend and neighbour, Joan. A fun night was had indeed! Bravo John! The big day has come… Santa (Eddy our Handyman!) came to Brompton delivering little gifts of joy to our owners! What a great lunch they all had, a traditional fare with all the trimmings. Many thanks to Duty Manager Maria, Chef Fernanda and the dedicated team, Ashley, Daniel and Saka for all their hard work. Bravo!
We had the privilege of welcoming Michelle Nova and the La Nova Singers to Brompton Court, and what a performance! The owners were greeted once again with mulled wine, warm mince pies and beautiful dressed singers… Let the concert begin!
Recognised as the premier women’s choir in the Dorset area, La Nova Singers brought some of the most vibrant and exciting choral music to life in the perfect setting of the Great Hall. They performed an eclectic repertoire of classical, sacred, operatic and contemporary music. The distinctive sound comes from shared training in the ‘Bel Canto’ technique taught by musical director and soprano, Michelle Nova. After the concert, Michelle, Pianist Simon and the singers stayed behind to chat with the owners and promised to return in the new year. An evening of pure magic… Wonderful! It’s Friday 1st December and this chilly winter’s night began with the delightful St George’s Singers kickstarting our Christmas season of entertainment here at Brompton Court. With the tree up and candle light settings, the Great Hall was ready to receive what was to come… Court Manager, Carl, and Suzie welcomed our owners, serving traditional mulled wine and warmed mince pies… (a good start!) and as they all warmed up with the glow of glühwein in their veins, the singers began with joyful songs such as Mary Did You Know?, Angels Singing Glory and Silent Night, after a short interval, followed by more wine and pies. The singers concluded the evening with classics such as Winter Wonderland, White Christmas and of course, Jingle Bells! A beautiful evening enjoyed by many; thankyou St George’s Singers for reminding us all of the reason for the season!
On Tuesday 19th September Brompton Court was excited to invite Wavelength A Cappella Women's Choir to perform. The Great Hall was the perfect setting indeed, capturing the beauty of A Cappella music. Many thanks to Dyrck, Chorus Director and all who delivered a delightful evening with songs ranging from years gone by to modern day.
A wonderful afternoon with pianist Richard Pierce and guest singer, our very own Tony Letts! Owners had a blast with the last of the summer days in our gardens. Tony and Richard put on an amazing show. Owners brought along their own wine and nibbles to enjoy while Brompton provided soft drinks, tea and coffee. A big thank you to Frances and Daniel for ensuring the event went with out a hitch. |
