“I have visited Wordsworth House in Swanage on numerous occasions to entertain the residents and staff for their social afternoons, Fete’s and Christmas Parties.
The staff are always so inviting and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The home is set in beautiful surroundings and is spacious and very comforting.
I really enjoy visiting Wordsworth House with my show and look forward to many more visits in the future.”
