Huntingdon care home joins hundreds of other care home residents for Barchester's 'Now That's What I Call a Christmas Music Quiz'
Staff and residents from Barchester’s Bayleaf Care Home, in Huntingdon, joined fellow keen quizzers from over 260 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to put their collective festive music knowledge to the test.
Barchester’s ‘Now That’s What I Call A Christmas Music Quiz’ took place on 29th December 2025 when Bayleaf Care Home got super competitive and took on its sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital had the best Christmas musical maestros.
From jingle bell mindbenders and rockin robin toe tappers to carolling conundrums and silent night sleuthing, the homes battled it out to find out who would prevail at Christmastime.
General Manager, Katie Wilkinson said: “We’ve got some excellent music quizzers at our home, we are very competitive - several of our residents love taking part in anything where winning is involved! We did very well, we knew lots of the answers and got a really good score, especially considering how many other homes were taking part!”
Margaret Hatch, resident at Bayleaf Care Home said: “It has been a fun festive afternoon. It was wonderful to see everyone in all the other homes joining in and having so much fun. I really enjoyed getting together with my fellow residents to take on the other homes – it is amazing how competitive everyone gets, even at Christmas!”
Bayleaf Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Bayleaf Care Home provides residential care and dementia care for 53 residents ranging from short-term respite care through to longer stays.
