Step Back in Time at Midsummer Place with “A Dance Down Memory Lane” to celebrate V E Day

This special occasion will feature a two-hour musical journey through the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, brought to life by the joyful and energetic team from Ragdolly Annas.

Taking place in the heart of the Midsummer Place Boulevard, the event has been thoughtfully designed for care home residents, blending music, memory, and movement into an unforgettable afternoon of celebration.
