Cream tea event on Leeds and Liverpool canal a huge hit with locals
Over 50 locals turned out last week for a charming cream tea event hosted by McCarthy & Stone onboard a canal boat that made its way along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
Setting sail from the McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living development, Poppy Grange in Maghull, guests tucked into freshly baked scones lathered with jam and cream whilst admiring the stunning scenery as they meandered through past the countryside.
Many attendees also used the opportunity to take a tour of Poppy Grange, which overlooks the canal, including its beautifully styled show suite and superb communal spaces.
The UK’s leading developer and manager of retirement communities has reported an unprecedented wave of interest in its retirement properties at Poppy Grange following the event as it prepares to welcome its first occupants in September.
Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager at McCarthy & Stone, comments: “Our cream tea event went down a treat with locals! More than 50 people turned up and it was an absolute pleasure to welcome both new and familiar faces. Events such as these are a great opportunity for future homeowners to get to know one another and for prospective buyers to get a taste of what life could be like. We’ve been bowled over by the high level of interest expressed by those who came along to the event. We always hoped it would prove to be a popular retirement community, but this certainly exceeded all expectations!
