Staff and residents from Barchester’s Tixover House care home, in Rutland, joined fellow keen dabbers from over 260 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to compete in one of the biggest games of bingo Barchester has ever seen!

Barchester’s Big Bingo Bonanza took place on 26th November 2024 when Tixover House got super competitive and took on its sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital was a dab hand at bingo.

Gillian Breeze, Resident Ambassador at Tixover House care home said: “The virtual bingo turned out to be a very interesting hour. It gave our residents time to have fun together and to appreciate re-learning ‘gaming!’”
