Fang-tastic Halloween party at Stanley care home

HC-One’s Stoneleigh care home in Stanley held a spook-tacularly fun Halloween party on Thursday 31st October.
​
Halloween is an annual celebration that originated as an ancient Celtic festival where people would wear costumes to scare off ghosts. Since then, it has evolved into a day of fun festivities, including trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. 

Residents were joined by friends, family and members of the team for an afternoon of ghoulishly great entertainment from Two Bitz, a delicious buffet and a spooky raffle. Everyone had a wonderful day, with Residents commenting on how lovely the Halloween decorations were and how nice it was to celebrate with loved ones.

Susan Dodds, Home Manager at Stoneleigh said: “All of our Residents were very excited for the day. Halloween is a popular celebration and many of our Residents excitedly told stories of what they used to do at Halloween when they were younger.”
