Marshland St James care home’s spooktacular time at the pumpkin patch




Care home residents got in the Halloween spirit with a special outing this week.

Residents from Hickathrift House Care home in Marshland St James visited Worzals to see Rusty’s Great Pumpkin Patch for the third year in a row.

While working with the team at Worzals, staff took a bus full of residents and three carers to the pumpkin patch.

Residents and staff had a “brilliant time” exploring the various themed areas from Jurassic Park to Hocus Pocus. They also loved seeing the various types of pumpkins available.

General manager, Paula Colman said: “We absolutely love being able to take our residents out and about to visit Worzals for their events, it makes us all so happy to experience seasonal events like this. It has been a fantastic day for all.”

Nen, a resident at Hickathrift House Care Home, said: “Who knew there were so many different pumpkins! I love the different colours and wonder what they’re like on the inside. Some are so tiny and others gigantic. It’s been so much fun visiting the different themes and of course, seeing all the children enjoying their visit. This has put a big grin on my face all afternoon.”
