RETIREES IN BUXTON ‘HAVE A BALL’ AS THEY MARK FIRST BIRTHDAY OF RETIREMENT LIVING DEVELOPMENT  

There was cause for celebration as a prince and princess paid a special visit to homeowners at Devonshire Place to mark the development’s first birthday.

Homeowners and the Your McCarthy Stone team gathered in the elegant communal lounge, where they enjoyed an exclusive performance by Prince Charming and Cinderella from Buxton Opera House.

The visit followed the announcement that McCarthy Stone has become the lead sponsor of the Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre’s productions over the next year, including the festive family pantomime, Cinderella. 

Leaving behind fond memories in place of a glass slipper, Cinderella and Prince Charming joined residents for delicious cake and a glass of fizz as they reminisced over new friendships and precious moments from the past year.

Raising a toast to many more successful years to come, guests also enjoyed a delicious spread put on by the talented bistro staff at Devonshire Place. 

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy Stone, said: “We had a fantastic time at Devonshire Place celebrating 12 months since we opened the doors. It’s such an important milestone for us, and we truly believe there’s no better way to mark this fantastic occasion than by encouraging our homeowners to get together to reflect on all the brilliant memories they’ve made here.  Supporting and engaging with the communities close to our developments is a key focus at McCarthy Stone, so we are delighted to be able to join forces with Buxton Opera House. We want to give a big thank you to Prince Charming and Cinderella for making the celebrations here at Devonshire Place all the more special.”
