Complete with live music, vintage games, and dancing, the Penwortham care home residents dressed in feather boas, top hats, and headbands.

Singer and entertainer Poppy Holiday performed a live vintage gig and hosted a Name That Tune competition and guitar challenge.

Jayne Farrow, activities co-ordinator at Penwortham Grange and Lodge and one of the event organisers, said: “Days like this are what it’s all about – seeing our residents smiling, dancing, and enjoying themselves together.

“Everyone made such an effort, and Poppy Holiday’s performance really brought the magic. These moments stay with us all.”
