Even in these difficult times the residents of both Holmesdale Manor and Great House Court came together - socially distanced, of course - to record The Secret Garden audiobook to raise money for charity. Special thanks goes to those residents that pioneered this idea in the beginning.
This is an amazing and creative task to do and it shows that people can still do something positive despite the circumstances. But enough about Covid-19, copies of the audiobook will be available shortly and updates of when they will be released online will follow. Beautiful snowy gardens of Holmesdale Manor...  Getting in the Valentine's Day spirit at Holmesdale Manor.   A big thank you from Macmillan!
Thank you so much for raising a fantastic £165.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support by taking part in our Coffee Morning this year. We hope that you enjoyed it, and that you’ll pass our warmest thanks on to everyone who helped to make it a success. Finding ways to enjoy time with people has never mattered more, so thank you for proving that nothing stops a Macmillan Coffee Morning. The total you have raised to date is an AMAZING £2,836.56! Every single penny you raised will have been a tremendous help to people living with cancer during an extremely tough year. There have been more treatments put on hold, more calls to our helpline, and more isolation and money worries due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thank you again for supporting Macmillan Cancer Support. Holmesdale Manor has had a beautiful display this year, with the addition of stunning pots, fabulous Acers, new borders and a sensory herb and vegetable feature. Huge thanks to our owners and particularly Maggie Beaumont for all the tender loving care in helping the plants get through a fabulous hot summer.
A very special lady, Mrs Margaret Harvey celebrated her 100th birthday on Thursday the 23rd of July. She enjoyed champagne and chocolates from Kingsdale and a lovely day out with her family. On her return her neighbours at Holmesdale Manor were waiting for a surprise happy birthday sing along. Happy birthday Margaret!
Many thanks to John Barrington for organising the Christmas Carols 2019 and keeping the tradition going. It was a lot of fun and we all had a good sing. The mulled wine and mince pies were a welcome start to the Christmas season too.
A fabulous celebration was facilitated by Kathleen and the team at Holmesdale; a good time was had by all.
Our generous owners at both Holmesdale Manor and Great House Court combined forces to raise £245.70 for the MacMillan Biggest Coffee Morning. Well done to all who participated!
Irene’s Birthday Party in October was a really lovely event at Holmesdale Manor with her two daughters working hard to make it a great afternoon.
Many thanks to Kathleen, Val, Maggie and Janice for organising the cheese and wine evening at Holmesdale on the 7/11/19. A fantastic range of cheeses were on offer, all the wine was drunk and the singer was great! A brilliant event enjoyed by all. A lovely sunny day for cream teas, scones, strawberries and champagne at Holmesdale Manor. Everyone at Holmesdale Manor would like to thank Valerie, Janice, Kathleen, Maggie, Enid and Ann for organising the event and making the delicious homemade scones.
Sunset Duo performed for the residents today at Holmesdale Manor. In fact, the duo turned out to be a solo but that did not stop the enjoyment. It was a great performance. A special thanks to Frank, Kathryn, Maggie and Valerie for organising the event.
 Unique one-off bonnets were made by the owners at Holmesdale this year for Easter. Thank you to Kathleen, Valerie and Maggie for organising the fun.
