The spritely members of Netflix’s Thursday Murder Club are certainly being given a run for their money by residents at the vibrant Brio Retirement Living development – Button House in Hackbridge – as they put on their glad rags for their very own red carpet premiere event.

Keen to embrace the glitz and glamour of the film-world, residents donned tuxedos, ballgowns and sipped on champagne, enjoying each other’s company whilst watching the film one resident shared was “made for us!”

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team based at Button House, residents had their very own red carpet, VIP area, fizz and canapes and most importantly – a wonderful night to remember.

Karl Mlynarczyk, General Manager at Brio’s Button House, shared: “We’ve all embraced everything Thursday Murder Club, it really has been a fabulous talking point for everyone, so we thought why not host our very own premiere? Who needs an excuse to dress up and have some fun! Everyone here is young at heart and we love spending time socialising together – everyone had a ball!”

The feedback from Button House residents came flooding in immediately with comments including, “A great evening! When are we writing the script for our own film!?!” to a heartfelt thank you which read, “Thank you for giving us a wonderful and elegant night. We appreciate all the hard work and thought that went into it. It surpassed all expectations – just incredible!”

Karl added: “Our residents love having fun so we’re planning a murder mystery night for our very own super-sleuths! It’s going to be another fabulous evening, and I can’t wait!”

Button House, along with Brio’s Landale Court development in Chapelton (Aberdeenshire) and the Beechwood Park development (Stow-on-the-Wold) are having great fun with development-wide Thursday Murder Club-themed events and activities. Residents have especially embraced Ben Kingley’s character in the film, Ibrahim, and his touching line where he explains the joy of retirement developments, where you can close the door when you want to be alone, but if you open it, there will always be someone there.

Karl concluded: “Retirement is often perceived as an isolated or lonely period of life – especially if you have lost friends and partners - but being part of a community, like ours here at Button House, removes any of those later-years worries and it’s just wonderful living and working here.”
