Maycroft Manor hosts community film festival

Maycroft Manor, our care home in Brighton, recently hosted a film festival day for residents, relatives and members of the local community.

Attendees got to enjoy the following films from the comfort of Maycroft Manor’s state-of-the-art cinema room:

• The Full Monty
• Christopher Robin
• The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
• Mamma Mia

Visitors also enjoyed popcorn, sweets, homemade cupcakes and drinks to help complete the movie experience.

Resident, Patsy O’Byrne, 88 said: “I had a great time watching The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on the film festival day, I laughed a lot and Judi Dench has always been a firm favourite of mine.

“Prior to living at Maycroft Manor I wasn’t able to go to the cinema for years, so it was wonderful to be able to watch a film in the comfort of my own home and sit in the comfortable seats.”

General Manager at Maycroft Manor, Ian Cole said: “Making sure Maycroft Manor feels like a vibrant community for our residents and their loved ones is hugely important to the team here. A great time was had by all who attended and huge thanks must go to my colleagues for organising this event.
