Haddenham Park Hosts Heartwarming Tea Dance for Local Elderly Community

Millie Gregory

Haddenham Park Care Home & Apartments marked Valentine’s Day with a delightfully heartwarming Tea Dance, bringing together members of the local community for an afternoon of music, dance, and connection. With The D-Day Darlings setting the tone with nostalgic wartime harmonies and professional dancers from Swingsters leading lively swing dance lessons, the event was a joyous celebration of love, friendship, and inclusivity.


The Tea Dance, held at Haddenham Airfield Pavilion, is part of Haddenham Park’s ongoing commitment to supporting and engaging with the elderly community, ensuring that older people, whether living at home or in care, have opportunities to socialise, stay active, and the feel value of being part of their community.




Creating a Space for Community & Connection


For many elderly individuals, loneliness and social isolation can be a daily struggle. Events like these offer a welcoming, uplifting space for them to reminisce, meet new people, and enjoy meaningful moments. Neil Copping, Home Manager at Haddenham Park, shared:


"This Tea Dance was all about spreading joy and creating a space where members of our community could come together, enjoy great company, and relive wonderful memories. Seeing everyone smiling, dancing, and connecting was truly heartwarming. This is exactly the kind of community spirit we will continue to champion at Haddenham Park."

Guests enjoyed a selection of Valentine’s treats, tea, and refreshments prepared by the home’s hospitality team, while the event’s vintage theme transported attendees back to an era of elegance and charm.

This Tea Dance was just the beginning — we can’t wait to host more events that bring people together, create happiness, and make every day special."
