Stir-Up Sunday at Chartwell House

Chartwell House in Broadstairs invites residents, families and friends to make Christmas puddings on Stir-Up Sunday, 22nd November 2026, 14:30 to 16:00.

On Sunday 22nd November 2026, Chartwell House Care Home in Broadstairs is holding Stir-Up Sunday, and the afternoon has one job: making Christmas puddings. Residents, families and friends will gather at the home from 14:30 to 16:00 to mix, stir and get the puddings made, ready for Christmas.

Hands in the mixing bowl

This is a hands-on afternoon. Everyone is invited to join in, and the day is about the making itself: the mixing, the stirring and the conversation that builds around a shared job.

Home Manager Clare Swan says the making is the whole point of the afternoon. “There’s nothing quite like a room full of people working on a Christmas pudding together. We want residents right in the middle of it, with their families and friends beside them, getting everything ready for Christmas.”

A Christmas tradition, open to everyone

Stir-Up Sunday is a traditional celebration, and Chartwell House has set it up to be inclusive and welcoming. Residents can spend meaningful time with loved ones, and neighbours and friends are part of it too, which helps strengthen the home’s ties with its community.

Christmas-themed refreshments will be provided.
