Life in Place from Anchor has officially begun the countdown to Christmas in Rochester, Kent, with a festive open day at The Wharf Independent Living development at Rochester Riverside. The event was attended by residents and members of the local community.

Many guests visited the Christmas Open Day at The Wharf to take part in the exciting activities and entertainment on offer, and kickstart Christmas celebrations as a community. Cosy refreshments including tea, coffee, hot chocolate, mince pies and mulled wine were made available to residents, alongside a live concert of talented choral singers from local choir group, Rochester Choir Society.

Sandra Walters, Senior Sales Consultant at The Wharf, said: “Christmas is all about coming together to celebrate, and our Christmas Open Day at The Wharf was the perfect opportunity for us to mark the festive season with our residents. Community relations and friendships are important to Anchor and our residents, so it was wonderful to be able to provide a moment for residents and families to get together and to see everyone getting into the festive spirit.”

Attendees also had the opportunity to explore the lifestyle on offer at the development and visit available properties.
