On Saturday 27th July, from 2pm-4.30pm, Care UK’s Ponteland Manor on Thornhill Road, Ponteland, will be bringing Paris to Northumberland as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as Ponteland Manor joins 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.
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 a badminton rally, bean bag toss, javelin and shotput. Winners will be awarded with certificates and medals in the classic Olympics style.
Visitors can also enjoy a range of refreshments, while tapping their toes to music throughout the afternoon. The Mayor of Ponteland Karen Overbury will also be attending the event.
