A Heartwarming Christmas Carol concert at Henford House Care Home – Barchester Healthcare !
What a magical afternoon we had! Residents, staff, families, and friends gathered together for a beautiful Christmas Carol Concert, led by the wonderful Eva, and accompanied by pianist Pam, both from Christchurch. The joy in the room was infectious as we sang classic carols, shared laughter, and felt the true spirit of Christmas!
From familiar songs that brought back memories to readings from the Story of Christmas that warmed our hearts, the concert was a celebration of community, love, and togetherness. A special thank you to everyone who participated and attended – you made this event truly unforgettable.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

From Tanya Hinton:
It’s nearly time for the Warminster bird lady’s Christmas treasure hunt!
From 12 midday Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day I shall be hiding a little original oil painting in Warminster Town Park, finders keepers! For safety it won’t be hiding in the children’s playground or skate park and not on the banks of the lake and stream!
And PLEASE when it’s found send me a picture so I can call off the hunt!
Merry Christmas.
