Tallis House And Alexandra House Residents Enjoy Dream Tour Of Arsenal Emirates Stadium

Residents from Tallis House care home extended a warm invitation to their sister home, Alexandra House, both part of the Runwood Homes group, for an unforgettable day out—a tour of the iconic Arsenal Emirates Stadium.

The trip was organised by Lifestyle Coordinators Clare and Rachel from Tallis House and made possible with the assistance of Glen’s son, Damien, who works at the stadium.

The idea for the visit originated with Glen, a resident at Tallis House, whose heartfelt wish was to spend the day exploring the home of his favourite football team alongside his son. Damien not only secured the tickets but also served as a personal tour guide, making the experience all the more meaningful for Glen.

The tour included several highlights for the residents: a walk through the stadium grounds, a behind-the-scenes look at the players’ changing rooms, and the opportunity to take photographs with the coveted Arsenal trophy.

Residents who attended the event were Vincent, Pat, Margaret, Beety, and another Pat from Tallis House, along with Michael and David from Alexandra House—all lifelong Arsenal fans. For many of them, visiting the Emirates Stadium was a dream come true and a cherished memory in the making.

Residents expressed their gratitude and excitement:
“It was an amazing day, and the bathrooms were beautiful! I’ve wanted to go for such a long time, and I feel so honoured that I was invited,” said one resident.

Lifestyle Coordinator Clare echoed the sentiment:
“It was a very good day out. We were well looked after, and we’ll definitely arrange another visit soon to give more residents the opportunity to experience the magic of the Emirates.
