Festive freedom: Celebrate summer your way at Applewood

As the summer sun begins to cast its warm glow, Applewood comes alive with the spirit of the season. From exciting events and activities, to the freedom to lock up and leave for a festive getaway, our village provides a vibrant haven where residents can embrace the joys of summer and Christmas on their own terms.

With the sunny season in full swing, here’s how you’ll enjoy every second of summer at Applewood.

1. Get your fill of festive events and activities

Applewood is a lively place to call home all year round, but it really shines in the summer months. A range of exciting festive events and activities take place to bring our residents together to share in the cheer. From themed parties and barbecues to singing carols and playing some trivia, there's always something happening to celebrate the spirit of the season.

2. Stay active all summer long

Our village is designed with a focus on active and healthy living. All year round, residents can take full advantage of on-site wellness facilities such as a heated swimming pool and gymnasium. But during the summer months, it’s the community gardens and village pond that really take the cake. Offering 24 acres of lush greenery, blooming plants, and meandering walkways for the exclusive enjoyment of our residents, it’s the perfect place to soak up the sunshine and enjoy a stroll or a picnic with friends and family.

3. Spend your time in good company

If you love spending the festive season in good company, then you’ll be well catered for at Applewood. Not only will you have friendly neighbours close by, but you can also invite family and friends over to spread the Christmas cheer. Our residents are always welcome to have friends and family stay over, which means you can enjoy the company of your nearest and dearest during this special time of year.

Plus, if you require a bigger space to celebrate the season in style, you’re welcome to hire out spaces within the Community Centre.

For the times when family and friends are far away, there’ll always be neighbours and community members to share in the festivities with you. 

From having a big Christmas lunch at home, to enjoying a community barbeque or happy hour at the Community Centre, you’ll never be stuck for good company. You’ll relish the festive feeling in your close-knit community. 

4. Lock up and leave with peace of mind

‘Tis the season to travel. When you call Applewood home, you’ll experience the ultimate freedom to holiday for as long as you please, with peace of mind that your home is safe and sound in a gated neighbourhood, with community managers and neighbours close by.

So, whether you’re heading on an exciting holiday, or spending quality time with family for the festive season, you can spend your summer feeling totally at ease.

5. Spend your summer your way

Perhaps the best thing about village life is your ability to spend your time exactly how you choose. There are plenty of opportunities to have fun with your neighbours and participate in group events, but there’s absolutely no pressure to join in. This flexibility allows you to craft your own summer and Christmas experience, ensuring that the season is as busy or as relaxing as you desire.

At Applewood, you’ll enjoy all the best bits of summer and the festive season. With a plethora of activities, state-of-the-art facilities, the company of like-minded individuals, and the freedom to come and go as you please, summer becomes a season of rejuvenation, exploration, and enjoyment.

However you choose to celebrate the festive season, the team at Applewood wishes you a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.
