🎨✨ Quantock House Artists ✨🎨

When Margaret moved into Quantock House in Taunton, she brought with her a wonderful background as an art teacher, and has since enriched the community by sharing her knowledge and passion with others.

Now, Margaret guides fellow homeowners through a variety of artistic mediums, with each session offering a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon of creativity, learning, and connection.

It’s moments like these that truly highlight the incredible talent within our communities, where skills are shared, friendships develop and flourish, and everyone is inspired to try something new. 💛

🍀✨ At Mulberry Fields, we don’t need an excuse to get together, but on this occasion, we celebrated St Patrick’s Day in style! ✨🍀

With an Irish-themed quiz, lucky packets, plenty of Guinness, and a fantastic performance from the Mulberry Mariners, it was an evening full of fun, laughter and great company.

Congratulations to Martin on winning two prizes, and to Sandra for taking home the pot of gold! 🌈🍀

The Activity Room was filled with concentration as homeowners carefully designed and threaded their own handmade bracelets, with plenty of focus (and the occasional bead, or two, escaping onto the floor!).

Each design was completely unique, and it was a joy to see the finished creations proudly displayed, worn on wrists, and admired on the stand.

With necklaces and earrings next on the agenda, some of these handmade pieces will also be available to purchase, raising funds for our new annual charity, Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance. 🚑

With plenty of scheduled activities like this on the agenda, there are always opportunities to get together and enjoy the company of the wonderful people who live here. 💕 So, if you're new to one of our communities why not join us for the next one? Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity

🍽️✨ Supper Club Travels to New Zealand ✨🍽️

Our first Supper Club of 2026 took us on a delicious journey to New Zealand, where homeowners enjoyed a fantastic feast of roast lamb or sea bass, accompanied by a taste of whitebait.

A sweet dessert and a luxurious hot drink provided the perfect finishing touch to a truly enjoyable evening, filled with great food and even better company. We were also delighted to welcome a number of visiting guests, giving them a glimpse of what Supper Club is all about.

And while we travelled far in flavour, we can promise, no koalas were on the menu! 🇳🇿✨

Homeowners recently enjoyed a wonderful beer tasting session with Tristan from Quantock Brewery, based just down the road in Bishops Lydeard.

Tristan brought along a selection of their beers and guided everyone through a relaxed and informative tasting, sharing the stories and flavours behind each brew. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about brewing while sampling some excellent beers along the way.

With a few favourites discovered during the session, several homeowners were delighted to take a bottle or two home to enjoy later.

Moments like these are a lovely reminder of the joy found in sharing experiences like these as a community. 🍻

The ladies at Mulberry House recently enjoyed a wonderful session learning the art of felting, turning soft fibres into beautiful pictures of delicate snowdrops.

With great enthusiasm (and plenty of creativity), everyone embraced the challenge. There’s already talk of future sessions, so watch this space for more handmade masterpieces to come.

Moments like these show how shared experiences and new skills continue to bring our community together. 💛

🎶✨ A Swinging 60's Night at Chapters ✨🎶

It was a full house at Chapters on Friday as we welcomed local band Timespan for a fantastic 60's-themed evening of live entertainment.

From the first note, both the band and the audience were reliving old memories with classics including 'Wake Up Little Susie', 'Eight Days a Week', and 'With Love From Me To You'.

The atmosphere was filled with nostalgia, laughter, and plenty of toe-tapping and a few tipples too.

The evening was made even more special with a birthday celebration in the audience, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a live band and a room full of friends.

With kaftans, beads, and a touch of flower power on display, several homeowners fully embraced the theme, bringing colour, character, and a wonderful 60's spirit to the night.

Moments like these show just how wonderful community life really is. To find out more about what it's like to live at Chapters comment 'TELL ME MORE' and we'll send you the details.

🎨✨ Creativity in Colour at Mulberry Fields ✨🎨

Art class at Mulberry Fields was a wonderful celebration of the talent and creativity within our community, as homeowners explored colour palettes and brought them to life through hands-on painting.

From experimenting with warm and cool colour schemes to applying tone and contrast in practice, it was inspiring to see so much skill and artistic flair around the table.

Moments like these capture what makes our community so special, there's always something new to try, plenty of inspiration to be found, and beautiful masterpieces created along the way.

January’s history lecture series was led by homeowner Stuart Wakefield, who shared his fascinating research into the history of Finch House, the Grade II listed building that forms part of the Chapters development.

Originally known as Fisherton Asylum, Stuart explored the site’s early history and shared photographs that highlighted the stark and often distressing treatments patients were subjected to at the time.

In 1924, the site was renamed Old Manor Hospital, before eventually becoming Chapters after being purchased by The Quantum Group in 2014.

The accompanying images really brought the story to life, showing just how much care, investment and transformation was needed to turn the site into the beautiful buildings and community homeowners enjoy today.

Thank you to Stuart for such an engaging and thought-provoking talk.

✈️✨ A Great Afternoon of Travel Inspiration ✨✈️

Last Friday, homeowners came together for The Great Travel Fayre, enjoying an afternoon filled with holiday ideas and plenty of travel inspiration.

Hosted by Steve Dunn, one of our homeowners and a passionate travel agent with a real love for cruising, the session was rich with expert insight, lively conversation, and plenty of wanderlust.

From scenic river cruises to exciting destinations further afield, it was a joy to see so many people chatting, asking questions, and imagining where their next adventure might take them.

Moments like these truly reflect the spirit of our community, where homeowners share their interests, talents, and experiences, creating meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and enjoy time together.

And with so much inspiration in the air, we may just see a few adventures setting sail soon.🚢✨
