Harry Priestley House residents enjoy a tasty treat to mark World Book Day

It’s the day when thousands of people join in a worldwide celebration of books and reading. To mark World Book Day 2024, residents and staff at Harry Priestley House, in Thorne, Doncaster, enjoyed dressing up as characters from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

To complete the sweet-filled theme, staff decorated the Home with colourful candy treats including lollipops, chocolates and nostalgic pictures from the original film in 1971. There was even a chocolate cake with a winning golden ticket.

Anne Stobart, Home Manager at Harry Priestley House, says:

Our residents and staff absolutely love celebrating World Book Day and look forward to it every year.

We have great fun preparing our costumes, talking about our favourite books and, on this occasion, memorable moments from the classic film.
