Big Band Entertains The Crowds At Taunton Care Home Summer Event

Scores of people from the local community turned out for a live music event at a Taunton care home.

The residents at Beauchamp House Country House Care, based on Village Road in Hatch Beauchamp, enjoyed dancing and listening to live entertainment from the Wessex Big Band who performed at the home’s Big Band and Barbecue event. Around 150 people attended the special event which took place on the terrace and expansive lawn of the care home gardens.

The home’s chef cooked a range of burgers and hot dogs for residents, families, and the event’s attendees to enjoy, while a range of mini games were set up on the lawn for children to take part in.

Resident Helen said: “I thought it was lovely. I like the sound of a big band. The Wessex Big Band were really good. I thought the whole afternoon was lovely and I’m thrilled to bits with it all. I like big band songs, and I just love music in general.”

Debbie Lane, Home Manager at Beauchamp House Country House Care, said:
“We had a fantastic afternoon with music provided by Wessex Big Band and our chef rustled up some food on the barbecue. At Care South, our motto is Fun, Food and Friendship, and that was certainly not in short supply at our Big Band and Barbecue event. It gave the residents the chance to soak up the sunshine while listening to songs from the modern day and yesteryear with their friends and family.”
