AS festival season gets into full swing across the UK, a Wirral care hosted its own music event.
The Manor House in Upton opened its doors to the community for Bupa Fest. Visitors were entertained by a host of local artists including live music from Joanna, Slightly Foxed and Sig.
The event, dubbed Bupa Fest, saw residents and staff alike don flamboyant outfits synonymous with music festivals.
Attendees were also treated to a line dancing class, a bouncy castle and glitter tent, a variety of garden games and a selection of food, including hot dogs and burgers.
Care home resident Pam Amson said: "It was a fantastic day. I loved the music, and it was great fun to have a dance and a singalong."
Angela Mcard, home manager at The Manor House, added: “We were delighted to welcome the local community, friends and families to join in our Bupa Fest event.
"It was a joyful day for all involved.
“Music carries a number of benefits including boosting mood, helping to relax and stimulating memory.
"We've made lots of new memories and hopefully brought up some old, fond ones for our residents, reminiscing on their festival-going days.”
“It’s our ambition to create events which foster a fun and engaging environment for our residents and after the success of Bupa Fest, we’re looking forward to hosting further activities in the coming months.”
The Manor House Bupa Care Home is for people in need of nursing or residential care including those living with early stage dementia.
