Dancing feet at the ready – Birmingham care home to host community car
A care home in Edgbaston is marching to the beat of its own drum as it opens its doors to the community for a carnival extravaganza.
On Saturday 23rd August from 12.30pm–4pm, Care UK’s Metchley Manor, on Church Road, is inviting people to celebrate culture, unity and love at the home’s very own version of Notting Hill Carnival.
There will be live music from local singer Barry Styles and carnival dancers sure to get everyone moving, with a Caribbean street food-themed menu prepared by the home’s Head Chef.
Guests will also be able to take a tour around the care home, alongside browsing an array of craft stalls.
