Tea party event at Carlton Park Hotel aims to support lonely and isolated people

Jason Gossop, sales manager of the hotel said he saw the success of a similar event being hosted in Barnsley and wanted to replicate it with his own tea party for people in Rotherham.

"Carlton Park Hotel is delighted to host our first tea party -  with the event sitting nicely alongside our Public Living Room which we host on a monthly basis to support the lonely and our numerous local charities. 

"It is so important lonely and isolated members of our society have the chance to come out and meet people, make friends and interact."

Anyone of any age who feels socially isolated or lonely is welcome to attend the event, which will also be dementia friendly and is open to carers, their family and friends as well. 

The event will be taking place on Wednesday (February 5), from noon until 3pm. 

Entertainer Susan St Nicholas will be performing a selection of songs from various decades and there will also be afternoon tea.

If you would let to attend the event, or for further details and prices, please call 01709 849955 or email: [email protected]

The Carlton Park has also launched Rotherham's first "public living room", inviting visitors to chat and make new friends with monthly sessions.
