Laughter and lipstick Pride party at Highfield Care Home
Highfield Care Home was filled with colour, laughter and joy this week as residents celebrated Pride Month with a special performance by the fabulous Diva Chanel, a renowned local drag queen known for her glamorous style, quick wit and powerful vocals.
The event brought a burst of energy to the home, with residents clapping, singing along and laughing throughout the vibrant show, which blended comedy, music and plenty of sparkle. Diva Chanel’s performance was met with enthusiastic applause and rave reviews from the audience, who thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be part of the Pride celebrations.
General Manager of Highfield Care Home, Luke Owens shared how meaningful the day was for everyone involved, “Seeing our residents light up with joy and laughter during Diva Chanel’s performance was truly heartwarming. Pride Month is not only about celebrating diversity, but also about recognising and supporting everyone’s right to be themselves—no matter their age. Events like this bring our community closer and show that inclusion and acceptance are values that transcend generations.”
The Pride event is part of Highfield Care Home’s ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and joyful environment for all residents, staff, and visitors. With decorations in rainbow colours, uplifting music, and a few show-stopping costume changes, the celebration was one to remember.
