Monday 17th, in anticipation of Ladies Day, at Royal Ascot, we enjoyed a hat making session bringing the joys of lady’s day to Farnham Mill.
A wonderful afternoon, for our ladies, in our special ‘Farnham Mill Hat Shop’ time for a browse and trying on experience.

Enhancing our sense of smell and promoting relaxation and a good night’s sleep with our Farnham Mill made pillow sprays. Our activities team and fellow residents created them using blends of essential oils that encourage your mind and body to relax and destress. Research suggests the aroma causes our bodies to produce melatonin, a hormone that promotes restful sleep.
In the afternoon, the enchanting melodies of our Woodlands and Hill Brow dementia choir filled the air at Farnham Mill. It was a heartwarming gathering as residents from our 4 homes came together, united by their love for cherished hymns and songs.
Music holds such significant importance for several reasons, spanning emotional, social, cognitive, and cultural dimensions. It’s a tool for self-discovery and personal development, helping individuals understand themselves and their place in the world.
