TV celebrity Nicki Chapman brought an air of excitement, anticipation and style to the grand opening of our new £2 million luxury retirement village clubhouse here at Durrants Village. Alongside Chief executive Bill Gair and Managing Director Iwan Jones, Nicki cut the ribbon to officially open the impressive, new threestorey Durrants house, which lies at the heart of the village.

ell known for hosting property programmes such as Escape to the Country and Wanted Down Under, Nicki welcomed distinguished guests, residents, and VIPs who were treated to a range of entertainment. This included displays from ballroom dancers, lessons from snooker players, jazz music and pieces from a fabulous string trio. There were tricks and illusions from an exceptional magician and laughs provided by a great light entertainer. Guests were able to relax and enjoy the weekend with fantastic food from our resident restaurateur Strong Flavours and delightful drinks from our marvellous mixologist. Guests had the opportunity to discover the impressive facilities provided in Durrants House including: the fitness centre, pool, gym, meeting and games rooms, library, guest suite and show apartment. They were also able to enjoy the new Durrants Village restaurant and cocktails in the bar.
Impressive facilities Nicki Chapman was particularly impressed with the facilities commenting: “I can quite see why a clubhouse of this standard is such an attraction to anyone looking to retire. It fosters interests, friendships and active living. For anyone over the age of 55 looking for a stimulating lifestyle and high quality housing, safe in the knowledge that there is always someone there to help, Durrants Village clearly has a lot to offer.”
t’s been a busy few months once again here at Durrants Village during which we’ve seen plenty of exciting new developments. New show homes have been completed, landscaping has come on at a rapid rate, new members of the team have joined us and we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming new residents to the village. Undoubtedly one of the major highlights was the culmination of many hard months of work to finish the outstanding new clubhouse within which our residents, guests and visitors can now enjoy a selection of country club style facilities. With just a matter of days to go before the grand opening by Nicki Chapman everyone was hard at work putting together the finishing touches. Thankfully everything ran like clockwork and on the opening weekend blue skies and sun welcomed all our guests. It was particularly pleasing to see so many of our existing residents who came along to join in the festivities and to help prospective customers get a feel for what community life is really like at the village.
