On Saturday 11 October, the grounds of our community came alive with laughter, music, and colour as residents, families, staff, and friends gathered for our much-loved Leigh Place Fete. The event was a joyful reminder of the strong community spirit that defines our home: a day where generations came together to celebrate connection, creativity, and care.
A Day of Fun, Friendship and Festivity
From the moment the fete opened, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, the craft stall showcased beautiful handmade treasures, and the raffle table was buzzing with excitement. Children’s games and live entertainment added to the lively atmosphere, while residents proudly welcomed visitors to their home.
Bringing the Community Together
The fete was a true community effort, supported by volunteers, families, local businesses, and schools who generously donated prizes, produce, and time. Their contributions helped make the day a great success; and their presence reflected the genuine partnerships that enrich daily life at Leigh Place.
Moments that Matter
For residents, the fete wasn’t just about the stalls or the sunshine; it was about connection. Many were delighted to see familiar faces, share stories, and enjoy the vibrant energy of the day. One resident said it best: “It’s wonderful to see so many people come together – it makes you feel part of something special.”
Thank You to All Involved
A heartfelt thank you goes to our staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to plan and run the event. Their care and dedication ensure that days like this are filled with joy and inclusion.
As we reflect on another successful fete, we are reminded that community spirit is at the heart of everything we do / creating a place where everyone belongs, contributes, and celebrates life together.
