A Weekend Away to Remember at The Big Tin Barn, Somerset
Last weekend, CPM citizens Colin, Richard and Clifford enjoyed a fantastic weekend getaway from Friday through to Monday at The Big Tin Barn in Somerset – a fully accessible and inclusive holiday destination that allowed everyone to relax, explore and make special memories together.

Supporting the trip were our amazing team members Amanda, Richard and David, alongside dedicated volunteers Kat and Ian, who gave their time, energy and care to help make the weekend possible.
The adventure began on Friday morningwith a stop at Weston-super-Mare for lunch before heading to The Big Tin Barn to settle in and enjoy a cosy movie night together.

Saturday was packed with activities as the group visited Haynes Motor Museum, taking in the incredible collection and enjoying a delicious pub lunch afterwards. Back at the accommodation, everyone relaxed with accessible jacuzzi baths before winding down for the evening. Below: Images taken from Haynes Motor Museum
Sunday brought another day of exploring with a trip to beautiful Lyme Regis, lunch out together, and a brilliant evening of karaoke and pizza – a perfect way to round off the weekend with plenty of laughter and singing.

Unfortunately, on the final day Clifford became unwell and the journey home was delayed while he attended hospital for some precautionary health checks. We’re pleased this was managed safely, and aside from this unexpected moment, the group had an incredible time away.
Trips like these don’t happen by accident.
Behind every accessible holiday is an enormous amount of planning, organising, personal care support, risk management, transport coordination, medication management and teamwork. Our staff and volunteers went above and beyond to make sure everyone could enjoy a safe, meaningful and memorable break.
A huge thank you to Amanda, Richard, David, Kat and Ian for making this exceptional weekend happen and creating opportunities for our citizens to experience friendship, independence, choice and adventure.
Because everyone deserves a holiday.
