A retirement development in Calne is inviting local over-60s and their families to enjoy a free summer afternoon of food, music and games later this month.

Churchill Living's Orchard Lodge, on The Pippin, will host a 'Picnic on the Patio' event on Thursday, 13th August, from 2pm to 4pm.

Guests will be able to enjoy live music, picnic food, ice cream, cocktails and garden games in the development's communal gardens. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet residents already living at Orchard Lodge and hear about their experiences of independent retirement living.

Caroline Haswell, Senior Divisional Marketing Manager at Churchill Living, said: "Our Summer 'Picnic on the Patio' Party is the perfect opportunity for local over-60s and their families to come and experience the fun and sociable lifestyle that comes with downsizing to a new Churchill apartment.

"We'll have comfortable seating, refreshments and good company for everyone to enjoy, as well as the chance to meet our friendly sales team and hear about all the ways we can support a smooth and hassle-free move. We can't wait to welcome everyone to join the party and see for themselves the wonderful friendly community atmosphere we have here."

Orchard Lodge offers one and two-bedroom retirement apartments, available to rent or buy, and includes facilities such as a communal lounge, guest suite for visiting family and friends, an on-site Lodge Manager and a 24-hour emergency Careline service.

The event is free to attend, but places should be booked in advance.
