Join Our Winter Bazaar at The Burlington
A winter Saturday in the Piano Bar
On Saturday 21st November 2026, The Burlington in Shepperton will turn its Piano Bar into a winter fete. The Winter Bazaar runs from 10:30am to 3:00pm, and everyone is welcome: residents, families, neighbours, and anyone who has ever wondered what life is like inside the home at 68 Manygate Lane.
The ingredients are the ones a good winter fete has always had. There are craft stalls to wander between, treats to pick up, artwork to stop and look at, and Christmas gifts for the people on your list. It suits any pace. Some visitors will arrive with a plan. Others will drift from table to table, see what catches the eye, and leave with something they didn’t know they were looking for.
Christmas shopping, with company
Gift hunting is different in a room full of neighbours. Instead of a queue and a carrier bag, there is conversation, a chance to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a while, and a reason to step out on a cold November Saturday. For residents, a fete brings the wider community through the door. For visitors, it turns the festive to-do list into an outing.
For families still deciding
Choosing a care home is rarely a quick decision, and a brochure can only say so much. A day like the Winter Bazaar lets families see The Burlington as it really is when people are in it: how conversation flows, how residents and the team share a room, and how it feels to sit down and take it all in. There is no script and no pressure, just a Saturday in the home and the freedom to form your own impression.
Not Just Care. Life, Thriving.
The Burlington’s promise is Not Just Care. Life, Thriving., and it is easier to show than to explain. A home that opens its doors to its neighbours, fills its Piano Bar with stalls and conversation, and invites people to stay a while is that promise at work. Home Manager Margielyn Gonzaga, known to everyone as Margie, says the day is about exactly that:
“A fete is a lovely excuse to get everyone into one room. Our residents get a different kind of Saturday, families get time to look around and chat without any rush, and anyone thinking about care for someone they love can simply come in and meet the team. We’d like people to leave knowing us a little better than when they arrived, and perhaps with a Christmas gift or two as well.”
Whether you come for the gifts, the company or a first look at the home, the Piano Bar will be ready from 10:30am.
