Residents, families, colleagues, and friends of HC-One’s Mossdale Residence Care Home in Burnholme, York, came together to celebrate the home’s annual Summer Fayre, held in the courtyard of the home. With glorious sunshine and temperatures reaching over 30 degrees, the day was the perfect setting for a fun-filled afternoon.
Guests enjoyed a variety of traditional games including Hook-a-Duck, Ring Toss, Tin Can Knockdown, Guess the Sweets in the Jar, and Guess the Weight of the Cake. A raffle also added to the excitement, with plenty of prizes won.
To keep everyone refreshed, delicious food and drinks were available throughout the day, with burgers, hotdogs, and ice cream proving especially popular in the summer heat.
Wellbeing Coordinators Pauline Hagen and Julie Infield expressed their gratitude, saying:
“We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for our Summer Fayre. It was wonderful to see residents, their loved ones, and our local community come together to enjoy such a special day. A huge thank you also goes to our amazing colleagues, who worked so hard to make the event such a success.”
The Summer Fayre is a highlight in the Mossdale Residence calendar, and this year’s event once again showcased the strong community spirit within the home.
As the community waves goodbye to the summer months, Mossdale Residence is also looking ahead to autumn – a season of warmth, comfort, and togetherness. With the arrival of September comes the Harvest Festival and the promise of cosier days indoors, making now the perfect time to think about finding a kind and welcoming home for the colder months ahead.
Mossdale Residence Care Home looks forward to hosting more events in the future, building on the success of their summer fete and continuing to bring people together in celebration and support of their residents.
Mossdale Residence is just one of over 280 kind and cosy HC-One homes across the UK, and new residents can experience 4 weeks for the price of 3 when they join before 31st November 2025. For information on HC-One homes near you, click
