RESIDENTS at a Lowestoft care home celebrated 90 years of Sir Billy Butlin’s holidays with a special visitor – ex-Red Coat and 1960s entertainer Steve Hall.
Steve, a regular favourite at The Dell – part of the Wellbeing Care group – brought his signature charm and energy to the care home, performing a selection of beloved songs such as ‘Delilah’ by Tom Jones and ‘She Loves You’ by The Beatles.
Residents and their families joined in with singing, clapping, foot-tapping, and even dancing, creating an inclusive, uplifting atmosphere. Steve’s talent for “working the room” ensured every resident was involved, bringing smiles and laughter to all corners of the home.
Joy Henshaw, regional director at Wellbeing Care, said: “Steve’s visits are always a highlight. Music has such a powerful way of connecting people and bringing joy, and seeing our residents so engaged and happy is wonderful.
“Butlin’s is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and to share that milestone with Steve really brought the history to life and created magical memories for everyone here.”
This event is part of the home’s broader programme of regular music and entertainment sessions that have become a highlight for residents, families, and staff alike.
Butlin’s, a popular UK holiday destination with resorts across Minehead, Skegness and Bognor Regis, employs ‘Red Coats’ who perform for and interact with guests to make their stays magical and memorable.
