Residents at Beerchester – sorry, Barchester’s Trinity Manor care home in Sherborne celebrated National Beer Day in style.


They learned a little about this centuries old drink, with researchers saying that it was possibly being brewed as early as 8000 BC.

Trinity Manor were thrilled to receive some amazing samples of locally brewed beer courtesy of Hall & Woodhouse, and even erected a beer tent with lots of nibbles for the residents to enjoy and which also showcased Badger Beer’s Dorset Dozen, including local favourites: The Golden Champion, The Fursty Ferret, The Hopping Hare and The Legendary Tanglefoot. The residents really enjoyed sampling them, especially on such a gloriously sunny day.

Acting as waiter for the afternoon, deputy manager Paul was certainly game for a laugh, donning his finest lederhosen.
The icing on the cake was a visit from John Hill, whose accordion playing attracted many of from the home to join in with the fun.
