Tha Jarman Centre

Today we went and visited the Jarman Centre in Newmarket where we will be going on Pack Holiday next year, we were very impressed.




On arrival we met Hilda Hardy the Caretaker who then proceeded to show us round.

We first looked round a sensory garden with a lot of outdoor musical equipment.

We first saw the outdoor activity store which included Parachutes, cricket sets, trails and balls, then we went inside and saw the Laundry and Wet Room (Disabled Shower and Toilet), then we went and into the main hall where there is a quiet seating area next to a log burner.
