Beamish Visit!
A fab few hours were spent at Beamish museum, the volunteers were in their 1930s/40s dress & welcomed us into orchard cottage where we sat around a large dining table, the coal fire was warm & welcoming. We cut slices of fresh bread & the residents in turn toasted it over the open fire using a toasting fork. We then had some delicious home made jam & marmalade to go with it.

Kenton Hall were proud to play host to the Newcastle Palliative Care team in raising the awareness of dignity and support for anyone involved in preparing for a loss.

We have been engaged in a project to observe butterflies developing from caterpillar to pupa to butterfly. We released these beautiful Red Admirals today, to the delight of some of our residents.

Our residents enjoyed decorating their wheelchairs, and were proud to show off their hard work to their friends and families. Don’t they look spectacular!
