HC-One Residents Attend Special Filming of The Yorkshire Vet at Cannon Hall Farm

Residents and team members from HC-One’s Lydgate Lodge, Ashworth Grange and Greenacres care homes in West Yorkshire, enjoyed a magical evening, after being invited to attend the filming of The Yorkshire Vet at the much-loved Cannon Hall Farm.

The event brought together farm owners Rob and Dave Nicholson, also familiar to many as co-hosts of Springwatch and Autumnwatch, alongside the veterinary team from the hit programme The Yorkshire Vet. The evening was held in support of The Dog’s Trust, with all proceeds donated to the charity.

In the weeks leading up to the event, residents and colleagues were approached by Daisy Beck Productions to contribute handmade knitted items for one of the charity stalls. Together, they created a beautiful collection of knitted animals, Christmas decorations, and Christmas cracker covers, all of which were proudly displayed and sold on a stall hosted by the show’s vets.

The festive celebration also included an auction, raffle, and a lively Christmas jumper catwalk show. Guests were welcomed with mince pies and mulled wine on arrival, and treated to a cupcake as a parting gift, bringing a sweet end to a heart-warming evening.

Resident Brenda Dixon, aged 92 years old, shared her delight:
“It was a lovely evening and what a treat to meet Peter the vet!”

Unit Manager Stacey Dillon added:
“What a fantastic night! It was lovely to see so many happy, smiling faces and to be involved in something like this.”
