Fairway View Care Home in Bulwell, Nottingham, part of the HC-One family, kicked off Pride Month in fabulous style with a lively performance from the much-loved drag artist, the amazing Fanny Burns.
Bringing colour, laughter, and joy to residents, colleagues, and local guests, Fanny Burns returned to Fairway View to the delight of all who attended. Colleagues, the team from Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue, residents and members of the local community attended the event, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere filled with singing, dancing, and celebration.
Melanie Hayes, Home Manager at HC-One’s Fairway View Care Home, shared her excitement about the event stating:
“We wanted to celebrate Pride Month and diversity by welcoming back The Fanny Burns to Fairway. She was amazing as always; it is fantastic to see so many smiling faces. Fanny fills the home with laughter and song, we absolutely love her to bits and cannot wait to see her again in December.”
Guests and residents were equally thrilled by the show with Maureen Duffy, a guest attending for the first time, saying:
“Fanny Burns was brilliant – my friends and I laughed from start to finish. We will definitely book a ticket when she’s back in December. I hadn’t been to Fairway View before, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It’s a beautiful home.”
Even long-time residents were treated to a memorable new experience. Joy Hoar, aged 88, resident at Fairway View Care Home, commented:
“Fanny Burns was wonderful. I’ve never seen a drag queen before, and at 88 years old, you don’t expect new experiences! It was such a great afternoon – I’m already looking forward to the next one.”
Fairway View continues to promote inclusivity and joy in the lives of its residents through engaging, community-focused events like this. With Pride Month underway, the care home is proud to celebrate love, acceptance, and unity – one unforgettable performance at a time.
