There's something happening here everyday!

Homeowner at Audley Fairmile

What is life like here?

When you own a beautiful property in an Audley village, no two days are the same. Every day is as full or as tranquil as you want it to be.

There are events and activities planned every day, from themed dinners and happy hour, to games and quizzes, to arts and crafts, to minibus trips, and everything in between. On top of those organised and laid on by our friendly village team, homeowners also establish their own hobbies and interest groups. These interest groups cover photography, art, gardening, singing, Bridge... the list is quite endless. We even have a resident Rock Band at one village.

And on top of the calendar of events, we also have an array of fitness and aqua* classes in the onsite Audley Club (*timetables vary by location).

At Audley, you need never be lonely.

Retirement village calendar of events

Below is a typical calendar of events for homeowners.

Note: This example is Stanbridge Earls in Romsey. When you visit your preferred village, our friendly team can share with you the upcoming calendar of events. It may even be worth you coming along to one or two of the events, to meet homeonwers already living in the village and to give you a better feel for what to expect if you were to buy a property here.
