Bulwell care home joins hundreds of other care home residents for Barchester's Beat the Clock quiz

Staff and residents from Barchester’s Hall Park Care Home, in Bulwell, joined fellow keen gamers from over 250 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to compete in the latest event in the Barchester Goes Gaming series – Beat The Clock!

The Beat The Clock Quiz, Barchester’s version of Countdown, took place on 24th September, 2024 when Hall Park got super competitive and took on its sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital was the best at word puzzles, crunching numbers and solving conundrums.

It was dictionaries at the ready as the homes battled it out to discover who would prevail.
