A food and drink festival is set to take place for retirees in Studley later this week. 

McCarthy Stone has announced that it will be hosting the event at its retirement living development, Priory Place, on Alcester Road. 

The event will take place on Friday (September 20) between 12pm and 4pm and is set to bring local food vendors and live music to its beautiful gardens. 

Visitors will be able to choose from local favourites including Caney's Cider, Bruno's Bakery and Ross & Hartwell Bespoke Butchers as well as many more. 

There will also be the opportunity to meet some of the McCarthy Stone team and hear from the homeowners on Priory Place about how they're making the most of their retirement. 

Bookings should be made in advance by calling 0800 201 4384.  

David Meachem, divisional sales director at McCarthy Stone, said: "Our Food and Drink Festival is a brilliant opportunity to bring the Studley community together for the chance to sample some of the amazing local cuisine that we have right here on our doorstep.

"We’ll also have live music for people to enjoy, while our landscape gardens will provide the most spectacular backdrop. We can’t wait to welcome everyone along."

The over 60s are well catered for at Priory Place with 45 contemporary one and two-bedroom retirement apartments and superb communal spaces, including a stylish lounge and well-maintained gardens, for socialising and relaxing.

Peace of mind comes from having a house manager who oversees the development during office hours and state-of-the-art security including door camera entry and a 24-hour call system in every property. 

A range of purchasing options are available at Priory Place to make retiring in style more accessible, such as the Shared Ownership scheme in partnership with Homes England, which allows retirees to enjoy the benefits of Retirement Living without committing to the full purchase price.
