🎉 What a fantastic day we had last weekend at Abbeyfield House, Dulverton as we celebrated VE Day in style!✨

We were absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible support from our local community and are delighted to share that we raised over £500 for our charity! 💚 From wonderful stalls to the delicious homemade cakes 🍰😋 — every contribution helped make the day so special. THANK YOU to everyone who came along!

The event was also a brilliant opportunity to showcase the stunning refurbishment of Abbeyfield House to friends, families, and the wider community.

A huge thank you to the fabulous The D-Day Dollies, Natalia's magical Princess Parties and The Wedding Edit for helping make the day unforgettable! 🌟

It’s been a wonderfully busy time at Abbeyfield House, Romsey! ☕🌱

Our residents enjoyed a lovely coffee morning, followed by some hands-on gardening—planting tomato, cucumber, and cress seeds, nurturing them as they grow, and moving them into the brand new greenhouse 🍅🥒

Now all we need is a bit of sunshine to help everything thrive - fingers crossed! ☀️🤞🏻
