Last Saturday, we held a simply excellent outdoor cinema event for our residents based in the North-West regions at the stunning Walton Hall Gardens. The 'Greatest' Event screened the infamous Greatest Showman, surrounded by picturesque views of the manor house and gorgeous grounds. Despite the unpredictability of the British weather, the event was a success, full of laughter, family fun and a wonderful sense of community.
Walton Hall Gardens, with its charming landscape, provided the perfect backdrop for this lively afternoon. Attendees were able to soak in the natural beauty of the area while settling in for a spectacular afternoon of entertainment. The grounds had their own on-site café which enabled attendees to order loaded fries in an array of seven different mouth-watering flavours and our residents were treated to a variety of complimentary goodies, adding a special touch to the afternoon. The crowd enjoyed popcorn, chocolates and a range of canned drinks. These little extras ensured that everyone had their hands full of treats while enjoying the show.
One of the highlights was the joyful atmosphere created by the children, who were seen dancing and singing along throughout the film. Their energy was contagious, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone in attendance and making the event all the more enjoyable. A heart-warming moment came when one little boy was asked why he had come to the event, to which he simply replied, “to spend time with my family.” This sentiment perfectly captured the spirit of the afternoon – residents coming together, creating memories, and enjoying quality time with their loved ones.
We even had Diva on-site, a social media expert who captured picturesque and captivating moments throughout the day. Keep a lookout on our socials to see the behind the scenes and exclusive peaks at what the day had to offer.
Of course, no British outdoor event is complete without a bit of unpredictable weather. True to form, there were a few downpours of rain throughout the afternoon, but in typical British fashion, our attendees embraced the challenge, gathering under gazebos and umbrellas to keep the party going. The rain may have tried to dampen spirits, but nothing could diminish the excitement of the event.
We want to thank all our residents who braved the elements and joined us for this fantastic event at Walton Hall Gardens. The success of The Greatest Event was a true testament to the fun-loving spirit of the community, and we’re already looking forward to our next resident event!
