Four Care UK homes in the area will be bringing Paris to Sussex as they open their doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as the homes join The Big Care UK Sports Day, which sees over 130 Care UK homes across the UK host sports days for the local community and showcase what life in a care home is really like.
Across Sussex, events will be taking place at:
- Chichester Grange, on Grosvenor Road, Chichester on Saturday 20th July from 2.30pm-5.30pm
- Heather View, on Beacon Road, Crowborough on Tuesday 23rd July, from 2pm
- Skylark House, on St Mark’s Lane, Horsham on Wednesday 24th July, from 2.30pm-4.30pm
- Bowes House, on Battle Road, Hailsham on Thursday 25th July, from 1pm-4pm
Guests can soak up the sporting atmosphere and, for those daring to compete, have the chance to win their own gold medals with an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, tug of war and other Sports Day classics.
Visitors can also enjoy a range of summer refreshments cooked on the barbecue, while tapping their toes to music throughout the day. At Bowes House, there will also be a photobooth on-site to help capture special memories from the day.
