Care home celebrates Charles III’s coronation with entertainment fit for a King

Staff and residents at Burcot Grange and Lodge, a luxury all-inclusive care home in Bromsgrove, celebrated the coronation of King Charles III with a three-day weekend of events that included a concert and street party.

On the day of the coronation, the home, which is a part of the Berkley Care Group, invited residents and their loved ones to watch the historic event together in the morning. Classic British food and drinks were served to guests as they watched the historic coronation procession in the home together. The home’s staff arranged a coronation concert in the afternoon which took place on the home’s grounds. Guests were entertained by Leigh, Jo and Sarah, a group of vintage singers known as Vintage Class. They performed a range of classic British songs from decades gone by. The home also provided everyone with traditional British summer food and drinks, including Pimms, prosecco, and the home’s very own cup cakes and famous shortbread, freshly made by the in-house catering team. Residents and their loved ones enjoyed the food whilst being entertained by the live music.

On the following day, residents were treated to a traditional Sunday dinner, prepared and served by the home’s cooking team. It provided an opportunity for the residents to reminisce on the coronation. Many were even able to heart-warmingly recall the Queen’s coronation in1953. For the bank holiday Monday, residents got involved in a street party organised by Burcot’s staff. This was a great opportunity to get the local community involved in the home’s celebration of the King’s coronation. Commenting on the celebrations, Vicky Osborne, General Manager said: “We are thrilled to have been able to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III with our residents and their loved ones here at Burcot Grange and Lodge.
