VE Day Festivities at Ernstell House
For the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, our wonderful community at Ernstell House embraced the celebration, bursting into vibrancy with decoration, entertainment and a delectable buffet. Our incredible team and residents as well as some welcomed guests gathered to commemorate and celebrate in a truly spectacular fashion. As laughter and chatter filled the air, one thing was undeniable – this was more than just a gathering. It was a heartfelt tribute to the perseverance of our heroes, alongside the resilience, unity and love we share with one another all year round.
Our stunning setting in Plymouth was beautifully decorated, with flags hanging in all directions, accompanied by some neatly arranged tablecloths. The furniture was seamlessly arranged, allowing relaxed conversations between one another, and encouraging the sharing of stories, enhancing the warm atmosphere of the celebration. As the fantastic entertainment unfolded, the mood turned electric, overflowing with joy and solidarity. Live entertainment from the brilliant, Zoe’s Cabaret Entertainment, was exhilarating, inviting us all to sing, clap and dance along to the rhythm. The melodic energy was simply contagious, and everyone was entranced in the sheer delight of the music.
Naturally, no celebration is complete without a heavenly selection of food, and our exceptionally talented kitchen team at Ernstell House delivered (as always) in style. A breathtaking buffet was prepared, offering an extensive variety of mouthwatering bites, capable of satisfying any craving! The sense of unity and togetherness was immense, as everyone relaxed and enjoyed the scrumptious lunch and the radiant atmosphere.
Beyond the exciting festivities and entertainment, this gathering stood as a strong reminder of the sensational bravery and sacrifices made during this significant part of our history. VE Day is a historic symbol of strength, resilience and triumph. Our celebration embodied these values beautifully, similar to how we symbolise them throughout our loving family at Amica Care.
Just as we came together in unity decades ago, our communities today thrive on an equal sense of connection, solidarity and meaningful occasions. Our festivities here at Ernstell House served not only as a joyful gathering but as a moment of reflection – honouring our history while reinforcing the importance of fun, love and togetherness.
We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone involved, it was an unforgettable tribute to unity, strength and the enduring spirit of our wonderful community here at Ernstell House, and Amica Care. We already can’t wait for the next one!
