There was something for everyone to enjoy at Care UK’s Field Lodge in London Road, from a bouncy castle and ice cream cart for younger visitors, to traditional summer fete games, including a tombola and raffle.
The highlight for many residents and visitors on the day was getting up close to some new furry friends when Cullum Farm arrived with Shetland ponies and lambs to join in the summer celebrations.
The care home’s chefs also prepared a delicious barbecue, while local acoustic artist, Bethany Jane, entertained everyone with a live performance.
Linda Martinez, home manager at Field Lodge, said: “Our summer fête was a fun-filled day for both residents and visitors alike. There was laughter and smiles all around as everyone enjoyed taking part in activities and meeting the animals.
