Our residents were delighted to welcome North East Producers for a spectacular live performance featuring favourites from Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and other much-loved musical classics. With colourful costumes, lively performances and familiar songs, the show had everyone smiling, singing along and thoroughly entertained.

Live performances like these provide so much more than entertainment. They encourage reminiscence through familiar music and stories, helping residents recall happy memories and share life experiences with others. The interactive nature of the show also created a wonderful atmosphere filled with laughter, conversation and community spirit.

A huge thank you to North East Producers for such a memorable afternoon. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

For the National Be Kind Day, the Residents at The Knowle made friendship bracelets, which they left in a basket for passers by to take.

We welcomed Darren John, an Elvis Presley tribute act, whose performance brought incredible energy and excitement to the room. Fully embracing the spirit of Elvis, he had everyone entertained with his dynamic stage presence; from hip-shaking moves to playfully interacting with the audience. The residents absolutely loved it; there were smiles all around, plenty of clapping, toe-tapping, and even some dancing. It created a fantastic atmosphere, and he was such a hit that we’ll definitely be inviting him back again.

Recently, we’ve given our lounges a thoughtful refresh to create an even more welcoming and stylish space for our residents. The lounges have been refreshed with a clean, modern palette, complimented by new, comfortable seating designed for both relaxation and socialising.

Elegant chandeliers and carefully placed wall lighting now enhance the atmosphere, casting a warm glow over a curated collection of striking photography that celebrates Preston and its surrounding areas. These include recognisable local scenes such as Preston Marina and the viaduct at Hoghton Bottoms, each chosen to spark conversation and a sense of connection to the local area.

Our dining room has also been updated with beautiful new seating, combining comfort with a refined, contemporary look. The improved furnishings create a more inviting environment, whether residents are enjoying a meal or gathering with friends and family.
