St Patrick’s Day Gets The Green Light At Waterside Court Care Home

Residents and staff at Waterside Court in Wallingford celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day this week. The home was decorated with shamrocks and everyone dressed in green to mark the day.

Held on March 17th, Saint Patrick’s Day actually observes the death of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but the day has come to be a huge celebration of Irish heritage and culture.

Staff and residents at the home marked the day with a fantastic river dancing performance by our local Irish Dancing Club followed by Guinness and an Irish whiskey tasting.

General Manager, Clem said: “Our residents have all had a brilliant day today, everyone has enjoyed the festivities – I think we all agree St Patrick’s Day is the best of all the saints days! We had a fantastic time listening to Irish music and watching Irish dancing, we sampled some lovely Irish whiskeys too.”

Julie, resident at Waterside Court said: “It has been a lovely day. I really enjoyed the Irish dancing that we had performing at the home as well as trying some Irish Whiskeys.”
