Wixams Retirement Village’s brilliant range of facilities will help you make the most of life, allowing you to be 

as sociable and active as you might want.

With up to 50 activities on offer each week and so many new friends and neighbours you’ll never be short of things to do.

You can pick up essentials in the village shop, visit the hairdressing and beauty salon, or meet friends in the bistro. Tone up in the Fitness Suite, or take a trip to the Library and IT Suite where you can read a book, surf the internet or send emails. If you’d like to continue gardening, there’s a good-sized greenhouse, and there’s even a Village Hall for dances and get-togethers.
