Celebrations on the cards as locals invited to 1950s-themed event at Aylesbury retirement community

McCarthy Stone, the UK’s leading developer and manager of retirement communities, is excited to welcome guests to its 1950s-themed party on Friday 10th May between 2pm and 4pm at Gentian Place on Lester Road for glasses of fizz and delicious canapes.

On the day, vintage vocal trio, The Parma Violets will perform a range of 50s favourites from artists including The Puppini Sisters, Dean Martin, and Bette Midler to help visitors, quite literally, get into the swing of the retirement lifestyle.

The throwback-style party will mark the official opening of the luxurious shared spaces at Gentian Place, which will act as an essential community hub for those living at the Retirement Living Plus development. During the event, guests can take a guided tour of these facilities, along with the professionally styled show suites.

Those wanting to attend should book a place in advance by calling 0800 153 3435.

With promises of warmer weather and sunshine, our landscaped gardens will provide the perfect backdrop for our 1950s-themed party, featuring a live music performance by local ensemble, The Parma Violets. Not to mention, the element of nostalgia will no doubt give guests plenty to talk and reminisce about.”
