Anchor spreads Christmas cheer at Southampton development with festive fair

Saturday (3rd December), members of the local community joined residents of Anchor’s Meadow Court retirement development in Sarisbury Green at its festive Christmas Fair.

Over 450 guests visited Meadow Court on Hamilton Road to celebrate Christmas as a community and to take part in the exciting activities and entertainment on offer. Attendees were able to partake in some Christmas shopping at the local craft and gift stalls, enjoy a complimentary hog roast and mulled wine, and listen to local carol singers. A giant snow globe provided the perfect opportunity for some festive photography, and to top it all off a special visit from Santa meant attending children were presented with gifts and left full of excitement for the big day.

Kim Hunter, Manager of Anchor’s Meadow Court said: “Christmas is all about coming together to celebrate, and our Christmas Fair at Meadow Court was the perfect opportunity for us to mark the festive season with our local community. Community relations and friendships are important to Anchor and our Meadow Court residents, so it was wonderful to be able to provide a Christmas event for all the family and see everyone getting into the festive spirit.”

Meadow Court resident John Roberts said: “The Christmas Fair had an incredibly impressive turn out and it was brilliant to see so many visitors and residents enjoying the activities and the hog roast.

“We only moved to the development last week, and everybody we’ve met has been so friendly and welcoming. It was great to see this welcome extended to the local community and witness such a successful event!”

Located in Sarisbury Green, Meadow Court offers a range of one and two-bedroom apartments for over 55s, all within walking distance of nearby shops and amenities. The development provides on-site facilities such as a café and salon, with landscaped gardens and plenty of scooter storage.
