Silver Swans® trip to Liverpool

28/11/2019

 

​On Thursday 28th November, 41 of our Silver Swans enjoyed a fantastic day trip to Liverpool.

We set off early in the morning to arrive at Liverpool Empire for an exclusive viewing of English National Ballet's company class. We were thrilled to watch dancers, from principals to artists of the company, performing their daily ballet class on stage.
Following this, we all went to The View restaurant, at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool to have lunch. It was such a lovely surprise for the room to be decorated for Christmas for us, with crackers and beautifully lit trees on the tables. 

After a delicious lunch, we then headed back to Liverpool Empire to watch the matinee performance of The Nutcracker.

It was a wonderful day, with coach travel by Swans Travel. 

​A huge thank you must also be said to Ambition for Ageing for their generous grant which made this day possible.

It was such an inspiring and enjoyable day! 

In case you missed it...

​The programme was first aired in December 2018.

Silver Swans® invited to the Mayor's Parlour

15/11/2019

 
We were very honoured that following our Silver Sunday event, the Worshipful the Mayor and Mayoress of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Councillor Trevor Holt and Mrs Evelyn Holt, invited a small group of our Silver Swans® to Bury Town Hall.

Our Silver Swans® were given a tour of the Mayor's Parlour and Council Chambers, and had refreshments with the Mayor and Mayoress.

It was a wonderful day that concluded with a meal out afterwards!

Silver Swans® cinema trip

6/11/2019

 
It may have been Bonfire Night with fireworks lighting up the sky, but 20 of our Silver Swans thoroughly enjoyed being at Vue Cinema in Bury watching a live stream from the Royal Opera House in London on 5th November.

The Royal Ballet performed a triple bill consisting of Concerto, Enigma Variations and Raymonda Act III. The ballet's were introduced by Dame Darcey Bussell and Anita Rani.

Our school has donated £135 to Elliott's Trust from the sale of beautiful hand-decorated Russian pointe shoes.

Elliott's Trust is a fundraising charity raising awareness of rhabdomyosarcoma, an extremely rare cancer, and childhood/teenage cancers. The trust was set up in memory of Manchester teenager, Elliott Fernandez, a 19 year old who sadly lost his battle with this illness.
