Holiday at Home in Bletchley 


Almost 70 over-60s were treated to a feast of activities, all-day refreshments and fun at September’s ‘Holiday at Home’ event at the Water Eaton Church Centre in Milton Keynes, arranged by members of Spurgeon Baptist Church and St Frideswide’s C of E


Holiday at Home team

The event was first inspired three years ago by Jenny Davis, the Parish Nurse, and this year had the theme of ‘Under the Sea’ complete with suspended models of a giant whale, shark, fishes, seaweed and jelly fishes, arranged around a shipwreck, a treasure chest, and sound effects.

Activities included a sing-a-long, a humorous but meaningful Jonah sketch, craft workshops, film shows, chair exercises and many other activities.

Lunch was generous individual portions of fresh fish and chips, provided by CrossLinks, a community charity set up by the two fellowships.
