Christmas Cheer Kicks Off at Epsom Village!

The festive season is in full swing at Epsom Village, thanks to the delightful visit from Dio’s youngest pupils. Every year, these adorable 3- and 4-year-old performers bring joy to our residents with their heartwarming Christmas concert, making it a highlight of our social calendar.

Their visit also gave us the perfect excuse to put up and decorate the Christmas tree and break out the festive hats! This year’s carol selection was a hit, with the energetic rendition of “Pop Bang Crack” stealing the show. After their performance, the girls presented handmade Christmas cards, lovingly crafted from recycled paper. They used waste paper from their classroom—old paintings, unnamed drawings, and leftover scraps from cutting activities—and transformed it into new paper for the cards, adding a thoughtful touch that made the occasion even more meaningful.

At Real Living, fostering connections with our local community is something we hold dear. Our relationship with Dio continues to grow stronger each year, with their Christmas concert and Mother’s Day performance now cherished traditions in our calendar.

Here’s to the joy of togetherness and the magic of the season!

A village with heart

“I’ve never had a moment’s doubt about my decision to move to Epsom Village.” Like Karen, so many of our residents are so happy with their new lifestyle that they don’t want to keep it to themselves. As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul.
