Diwali, the Festival of Lights, was a wonderfully warm celebration across Springdene’s care homes in North London – from Muswell Hill and Hampstead to Enfield. Residents and staff came together to enjoy a colourful afternoon filled with music, storytelling, and delicious Indian treats.
This year’s event captured everything that makes Springdene special: community spirit, cultural celebration and activities that bring joy and connection to daily life.
Lighting Up Our Homes with Colour and Culture
At Spring Lane, Spring Grove and Springview Care Homes, residents joined in a vibrant Diwali celebration featuring:
- Traditional Diwali music
- Colourful rangoli and mandala art
- A tasting session of popular Indian snacks and sweets
- Warm, shared conversations and laughter
The room was filled with colour, creativity and the welcoming glow of Diwali lights – a beautiful reminder that celebration and community belong to everyone, at every age.
A Mouth-Watering Diwali Tasting Experience
Our residents enjoyed a delicious selection of Indian favourites, including:
Poppadoms and crackers- Bombay mix
- Chutneys and pickles
- Gulab jamun (a resident favourite!)
- Chai masala tea
The tasting session brought back memories, sparked new conversations and created a shared moment of discovery between residents and staff.
Creativity and Calm with Rangoli Art
Many residents chose to take part in colourful rangoli and mandala artwork. These beautiful patterns, traditionally used during Diwali to welcome goodness and good fortune, gave residents a chance to relax, focus and enjoy gentle creativity.
The finished pieces were proudly displayed – and so were the smiles.

Residents enjoyed a spread of Yorkshire cheeses, Rakusen’s crackers and Timothy Taylor’s beers, bringing authentic flavours of the region right into our lounge. Sharing these treats sparked conversation and memories, and was the perfect way to mark this special day.

The residents of Springview Care Home in Enfield were treated to a spectacular day of entertainment at this year’s Summer Festival. Families, friends and members of the local community came together to enjoy live music, delicious food, and an impressive line-up of vintage cars right outside the home on Crescent Road.
A Festival to Remember in Enfield
From the moment guests arrived, there was a buzz of excitement. The car park was filled with gleaming classic cars kindly brought along by members of the Barnet Classic Car Club and the Whitewebbs Museum of Transport. Residents admired favourites such as Jaguars, MGs and Triumphs — vehicles that brought back fond memories and sparked conversations about days gone by.
Meanwhile, the sounds of a live jazz band set the perfect summer atmosphere, while the delicious aromas of a sizzling BBQ tempted everyone to gather around for freshly grilled treats. Families and residents alike enjoyed the chance to relax in the sunshine and celebrate together.
Community Spirit and Special Guests
The festival was not only a joyful occasion but also a chance to support a worthy cause, with proceeds going to the RNLI Tower Lifeboat Station, whose volunteers carry out lifesaving work on the River Thames.
It was wonderful to see the Enfield community — along with visitors from nearby Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Barnet, Palmers Green and Cheshunt — join in the festivities and share the day with our residents.

The group took in views of the reservoir while enjoying tea and cake at the café, surrounded by peaceful natural scenery. A highlight of the trip was resident Cecil – a keen fisherman and birdwatcher – who brought along his binoculars and enthusiastically pointed out different bird species to the group.
Trips like these are part of Springdene’s commitment to enriching daily life for our residents through meaningful, nature-based activities that support wellbeing, social connection, and joy
