A Stowmarket care home is opening its doors to the public next week for a rather royal event.

The team at Cedrus House on Creeting Road East have organised a party to mark the Queen’s 92nd birthday, and better connect residents with their community.

The event, which will feature a live saxophone performance and tasty afternoon tea, is due to take place on Friday, April 20, from 2pm until 4pm.

Michelle Webster, home manager at Cedrus House, said: “We’ve already had a brilliant start to the year at Cedrus House, and our Care Home Open Day celebrations are set to be a real highlight. The day is all about enriching the lives of residents by building lasting relationships with the community, so what better excuse to invite the people of Stowmarket to the home than to celebrate the Queen’s birthday.

“The residents are looking forward to decorating the home fit for a queen, and we cannot wait to open our doors for this royal celebration.”
