The retirement home, in Broadfield Lane, hosted a variety of craft stalls, along with those selling home-made cakes, and offering massages.

Sandra Hammond from the care home, said: “It all went well, and the residents seemed to really enjoy it. We had Christmas music playing and games such as ‘name the teddy bear’ a raffle and tombola. Our residents helped to set it up and family members were involved as well.”
