At our Waverley Lodge Nursing Home in Romsey, Hampshire, we believe in keeping the joy alive, and what better way to do that than with a pantomime? Even though Christmas has come and gone, we were determined to spread some holiday cheer with a performance of Dick Whittington by the Carousel Theatre Company.

A pantomime extravaganza!

The residents were whisked away to a world of magic, mischief, and merriment as the classic tale of Dick Whittington unfolded. The Carousel Theatre Company delivered a captivating performance filled with catchy songs, hilarious jokes, and plenty of audience participation.

A day of theatrical delights

The afternoon was a whirlwind of activity! Residents were fully engaged, cheering for the hero, booing the villain, and singing along to the playful tunes. The interactive nature of pantomime kept everyone on their toes, creating a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.

Fostering connections and joy

This wasn’t just a show; it was an opportunity for residents to connect, share laughter, and reminisce about childhood pantomime experiences. The shared merriment created a warm and inviting atmosphere, fostering a sense of community within Waverley Lodge.

Keeping the festive spirit alive

At Waverley Lodge, we believe in celebrating life and creating lasting memories for our residents. The Dick Whittington performance was a perfect example of how we extend the festive spirit and bring joy throughout the year.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
