Wilmslow's newest care home is inviting the local community to attend its grand launch event, along with some very special guests.

Care UK's Long Stone Manor, on Manchester Road, will be opening its doors to the community on Wednesday 2 April 2025, from 2pm to 4pm, to join the celebrations, along with some VIP visitors who will be cutting the ribbon.

With the first residents having moved into Long Stone Manor in February, everyone at the home is now gearing up to celebrate its official opening with the help of a special guest – Clare Hayward MBE DL High Sheriff of Cheshire.

On arrival, guests will be met by the team in the home's main reception area, where they can enjoy welcome drinks and canapés. After the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon, and announcing the home as officially open, visitors will have the opportunity to find out exactly what life is like at Long Stone Manor.

Tours of the care home will be available, and visitors will be able to enjoy plenty of fun, family-friendly activities, including a sound bath with Oceansage Therapy and a caricaturist.

Long Stone Manor will also host live entertainment from local violinist Katie Geelan, known as Fiddlesticks, and singer-guitarist Nick Bertram-Powell.

Guests attending the official opening will have the opportunity to enjoy tasters of the meals on the residents' menu at Long Stone Manor, specially prepared by the home's talented Head Chef, Oli Jackson, and mocktails will be served up in the home's very own bar.

Emma Tillyer, Home Manager at Long Stone Manor, said: "We've had such a warm and positive response from local people since we welcomed our first residents to Long Stone Manor in February – we already feel like part of the community.

"We're delighted to be marking the official opening of our home with our grand launch event on Wednesday 2 April, and can't wait to celebrate with our neighbours, residents, their relatives and special guests.

"We're excited to show everyone the welcoming, friendly atmosphere that we've created here at the home. On behalf of the team and residents here at Long Stone Manor, I'd like to invite the people of Wilmslow along to what promises to be a brilliant afternoon for all."
