Thank You Heineken & Jane Peyton!
๐๐ฅ A Special World Cider Day Celebration ๐ฅ๐
Springdene Care Homes residents enjoyed a truly memorable World Cider Day celebration this week, thanks to the generosity of Heineken UK and the expertise of renowned drinks writer, cider educator and broadcaster Jane Peyton School of Booze.
We were delighted to receive a donation of Inch's Medium Apple Cider, Inch's 0.0% Alcohol-Free Cider, Strongbow Original and Old Mout Berries & Cherries, helping us create a wonderful tasting experience for our residents.
A huge thank you also goes to Jane Peyton, who joined us to deliver a fascinating presentation on the history of cider, Britain's orchard heritage and the cider-making process, before leading residents through an engaging and informative tasting session.
Jane's warmth, knowledge and passion for cider sparked fantastic discussion, reminiscence and debate, with residents sharing memories of pubs, holidays, celebrations and favourite tipples from years gone by.
The afternoon was filled with learning, laughter and meaningful conversation, demonstrating how food and drink can be used as a powerful tool for reminiscence, social connection and wellbeing.
Thank you to Jane Peyton and Heineken UK for helping us create such a memorable experience for our residents.
