Mexborough people invited to free panto at Swallow Wood

Members of the public are invited to join residents at MHA’s Swallow Wood Care Home on Wath Road, Mexborough for a free performance of Jack and the Beanstalk on Monday 20 November.

The pantomime, at 5.30pm, will be performed by Northeast Producers Travelling Theatre Company.  Festive food and drink will be on sale.

The pantomime is just part of the Home’s forthcoming Christmas celebrations and year-round activities which also include pamper sessions, crafts, quizzes and bingo.  The activities programme was one of the reasons why the Care Quality Commission (the independent regulator of health and social care in England) rated Swallow Wood as ‘Good’ at its last inspection.  The Home is looking for more volunteers to help deliver these activities.  Anyone interested can just turn up for the pantomime or call Manager Tracey Cowdell on 01709 571477. 

Tracey said, “We’re looking forward to all our Christmas activities, but many of our residents particularly enjoy pantomimes as they ignite memories from years gone by.  We want to encourage social interaction between the different generations, which is why we are opening up the show to friends, families and members of the public.  We couldn’t run all our activities without the wonderful volunteers who help us out, so we would welcome any others who would like to join us.”
