Memory Café – Disco Through The Decades
Memory Café – Disco Through The Decades 2333 1750 Liz Matthews
🕺💃 Blast from the Past: Disco Memories Delight! 🎶✨
 
Haydon Wick Parish Council Memory Café teamed up with Pinetrees Memory Café and Highworth Forget-me-not Café for an absolutely GROOVY afternoon of musical memories!
 
Our residents took a musical journey through the decades, dancing from the 60s right through to the 90s. But let’s talk about the FOOD – oh, the glorious 70s cuisine! 🍽️
 
Highlights included:
Jo’s adorable blancmange rabbit shapes 🐰
Cheese and pickled onions on sticks 🧀
Bacon Frazzles 🥓
Ice-cold Tizer to wash it all down 🥤
 
Residents from across Swindon came together, reminiscing about the good old days and creating brand new memories. Groovy times were had by all!
 
Thank you Debs @PinetreesMemoryCafe for including us in your amazing event!
