Over the past two days, we have had the pleasure of welcoming Mark Sims Photography to Grove Place, our exceptional retirement community in Hampshire.

Capturing the true spirit of our community requires a keen eye for detail. It is not simply about photographing our Grade I listed Manor House or the manicured 27-acre grounds; it is about documenting the lifestyle, the warmth of community, and the quiet moments of joy that our residents experience every day.

We look forward to sharing these exquisite new images with our community very soon.

Residents at our distinguished Battersea Place village were transported to the sun-drenched climes of Andalusia for a truly captivating evening of authentic Flamenco! 🇪🇸💃

The atmosphere was absolutely electric in our elegant restaurant space, where professional dancers delivered a breath-taking performance. From the dramatic flourish of the bata de cola to the soul-stirring cries of the singers, the passion and intricate rhythms of Spain took centre stage, fostering a joyous and supportive community connection.

This world-class cultural programme was perfectly complemented by a stunning buffet created by our exceptional kitchen team, led by Executive Chef Frederick Scieux.

Even on a cloudy spring day, our peonies bring colour and vibrancy to the village.
Often associated with love, prosperity, and good fortune, peonies also symbolise wealth, nobility, and longevity — a beautiful reminder of nature’s grace and meaning.

Just spotted a swarm of cedar bees in St Swithun’s Field!

They’ve been carefully transferred to our hives — so hopefully, that means more Grove Place honey on the way! 🐝🍯🐝
