Residents at HC-One’s Coopers Croft Care Home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, recently stepped into a world of whimsy and delight during a Mad Hatters Tea Party, inspired by the magical tale of
Alice in Wonderland. The event brought laughter, creativity, and a sense of playful adventure to all who attended.
The care home was transformed into a fantastical tea party setting, complete with colourful decorations, oversized teacups, and eccentric “mad hats” that residents and colleagues proudly wore. Guests were treated to a variety of teas, delectable pastries, and traditional finger sandwiches, creating a truly immersive experience.
Activities throughout the afternoon included hat-making sessions, themed quizzes, and fun storytelling, ensuring that every resident could engage in a way that suited them. The event encouraged creativity, social interaction, and joyful memories, highlighting Coopers Croft’s commitment to vibrant and meaningful activities for its residents.
