Castleford school visit

We feel really lucky to be really connected with our local community and recently, one of local schools came to visit us. The children brought excitement, joy and happiness to our residents who smiled for the rest of the day after spending time with the children.

Springing into Spring

Here at Castleford we are preparing for springtime. We were very lucky to have daffodils donated to us, thank you Sharon. We have been busy doing arts and crafts to go on our spring wall and we have done some flower arranging to go around our home. Now we just need the sunshine.

A Perfect Pancake Day!

We love Pancake Day here at Castleford! We had an entire pancake trolley full of pancakes, berries, chocolate, honey, lemon, sugar and whipped cream. Our residents and staff chose what they wanted on their pancakes and enjoyed every last bite. Thank you to Jade for making the pancakes so delicious!

Indoor entertaining

Our lovely staff and residents at Castleford have been bowling, singing and dancing over the last few weeks. It’s amazing how much fun you can have without having to step outside (although, as they say, they love all their outdoor activities too!)

New Year fun at Castleford

We hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and wish you all the best for the year ahead. We had a fantastic time with music, party food for dinner, and for those who made it to the new year, a tasty Chinese! Our wonderful night staff kept everyone well entertained throughout the evening.

Beautiful outdoor space at The Lodge

We’ve been hard at work sprucing up our outdoor areas. It’s had a big do-over as we’ve planted tomatoes, sown lots of seeds and painted our planters. But we didn’t stop there as we’ve also painted the summer house and added some fairy lights. Plus, we’ve purchased two new benches for our new seating area…

Pop-up patisserie!

We opened up our own patisserie and experimented with some puff pastry to create beautiful strawberry and cream puffs! We have never made these before, but we were over the moon with these delicate, indulgent pastries. They went down a treat, with everyone – including the team! With a choice of strawberry and cream or…
