Care home residents judge East Hoathly Bonfire fancy dress

Staff and residents at Lydfords Care Home in East Hoathly celebrated the East Hoathly Bonfire Night with a bang last Saturday (7th November) when they wrapped up warm to watch the East Hoathly Bonfire night procession which came past the home.

Before the evening procession got underway, some of our residents were involved with the judging of the fancy dress in the local village hall.

The residents then were provided with blankets and thick coats and sat at the end of the home’s drive to watch all the local bonfire societies go past with torches alight.

Betty a resident at Lydfords said: “I have always loved Bonfire Night, it’s so lovely to celebrate these traditions all together.  The fireworks bring back so many memories of Bonfire Nights through the years, these times are so special.”

Sky Leroy, General Manager at Lydfords Care Home said: “Our residents had a fantastic evening being involved with the judging of the fancy dress competition and then watching all the local bonfire societies take part in the procession past the home and through the village.”
