The stunning vehicles quickly became the centre of attention, with residents delighted to step back in time as they admired the craftsmanship and shared stories of family holidays, day trips, first cars and journeys from years gone by. The visit sparked animated conversations and plenty of smiles as treasured memories were brought back to life.

Experiencing classic vehicles is a wonderful way to encourage reminiscence, helping residents connect with their personal histories while sharing stories with friends, relatives and colleagues. These meaningful moments support wellbeing and create opportunities for conversation, laughter and connection.

The vintage bus is also well known for operating The Number 11 Vintage Bus Service, giving passengers the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Cotswolds aboard a lovingly restored heritage vehicle.

Matthew Peach, Home Manager at Edwardstow Court said: 

It was a truly wonderful afternoon. Seeing the joy on our residents' faces as they explored the vehicles and shared their memories was incredibly special. We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Troopers Lodge Motor Services for bringing a little piece of history to our home and creating such a memorable experience for everyone.

The visit is another example of Edwardstow Court's commitment to providing engaging experiences that celebrate residents' life stories while strengthening connections with the local community.
