What a wonderful day out for our residents at the Capital Theatres - Festival Theatre, Studio & King's Theatre celebrating an early Burns Night with a Comfy Ceilidh! 🎶
There was chair dancing, poetry readings, and lots of toe-tapping folk music, all enjoyed with plenty of tea and coffee. Such a joyful and inclusive afternoon for everyone involved.
A huge thank you to the Festival Theatre team for making us feel so welcome and for creating such a special experience. Days like this make lasting memories! ✨
