A care home and primary school have teamed up for a Harvest Festival celebration.

Residents of Care UK's Cavell Court, on Dragonfly Lane, Norwich, joined pupils from Cringleford Primary School to celebrate the annual festival.

The event included a learning session on the origins of the Harvest Festival, its relevance to modern society and the importance of maintaining this tradition.

The residents also enjoyed the school's Harvest Festival assembly, which included poetry readings and song performances by the children.

Peta Cremer, a 79-year-old resident, said: “It brought back so many lovely memories of my daughter and grandchildren.

"It was really lovely to attend, thank you for asking me.”

As part of the celebrations, Reverend Graham Wilkins from St. Peters Church conducted a Harvest Festival Church Service at Cavell Court.

Brenda Burman, 88, said: “Reverend Graham always does a lovely service and it always makes you feel grateful for what you have.”

The residents and staff have also donated their surplus non-perishable food items to Norwich Foodbank.

Karen Curle, home manager at Cavell Court, said: "It was fantastic to visit Cringleford Primary School to celebrate the annual Harvest Festival tradition and explore its importance today.

“Harvest Festival is a day in the calendar where we can reflect and show gratitude for the food that we have, while serving as an opportunity to connect with others, regardless of age or background.

“Everyone at Cavell Court had an amazing day and we’re already looking forward to our next event with Cringleford Primary School children as we race towards Christmas.”

Cavell Court is a care home that offers full-time residential and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care.

The home is designed to allow residents to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives, with facilities including a cinema and hairdressers and ample space for relaxation and recreation.
