The Primrose Bank Horticultural Society have been hard at work over the last couple of months, the gardens are looking beautiful and vegetable and herb patch is coming along nicely.

It is a lovely sight to behold and the residents are thoroughly enjoying the view whilst relaxing in the garden with a cup of tea or the occasional pina colada.

Primrose Bank would like to thank all those who have dominated money towards the garden, and our residents who have taken such good care and have helped nurture the plants and vegetables.

Athens is one of the oldest named cities in the world, having been continuously inhabited for at least 5000 years. Situated in southern Europe, Athens became the leading city of Ancient Greece in the first millennium BC, and its cultural achievements during the 5th century BC laid the foundations of western civilization

What will we do?
Join us as we set sail to Athens, we will take in the sights and sounds of Greece, visiting famous landmarks. We will start our day with VR tours of the famous sites such as Temple of Poseidon, Delphi, and the Acropolis.
