Care home to host sports day with performance and ice cream
A Newmarket care home is hosting a sports day for the community.
Kentford Manor Care Home, in Jeddah Way, has invited residents and members of the public to join them for an afternoon of games on Friday, July 11, from 3.30pm until 6.30pm.
There will be several traditional sports day games, including egg-and-spoon races, tug of war, and target challenges for people to enjoy, as well as a chance to win gold medals.
After the games, a performance by singer Hedda Carlsen will take place, and the set will include jazz, pop, opera, and musical theatre songs.
Attendees will also be able to enjoy a barbecue along with sweet treats from Kelly's Ice Creams.

"We're proud to be part of such a close-knit community here in Newmarket, and events like this are a brilliant way to bring everyone together, enjoying some friendly competition while celebrating the incredible summer of sport we're being treated to, with Wimbledon and the Women's Euro 2025.
"It's also a great chance for us to show everybody what life at Kentford Manor is all about.
"We're expecting plenty of smiles, laughter, and shared moments.
"Community events are a wonderful way for residents to stay active, meet new people, and reconnect with familiar faces.
"We can't wait for the games to begin."
