Guests will be joining residents, team members and North Leamington School pupils to soak up the sporting atmosphere and, for those daring to compete, have the chance to win their own gold medals with an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, table tennis, and hula hooping.
Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef, while listening to live entertainment from local performer Barry Juckes, who’s sure to get the party started.

Hide AdFrancine Summers, Home Manager at Priors House, said: “As we warm up for what promises to be a great event, we’re encouraging residents to reminisce about school sports days from their own younger years.
“Intergenerational relationships are beneficial for both sides and can provide older people with a sense of purpose and fulfilment. We have many sport lovers here at Priors House and residents are excited to share their achievements with their younger family members and put them into action this July.
“We’re anticipating this is going to be a busy event so would encourage anyone who would like to come along to get in touch and book their place.”
