IT'S "open day" tomorrow at the Abbeyfield house at Parkside, 14 Earle Drive, Parkgate (10am-12noon and 2pm-4pm).

The event is part of National Abbeyfield Week to raise awareness of the housing charity.

Abbeyfield houses exist to provide homes for retired people who are alone and reasonably fit. Every resident has their own room with their own furniture and possessions. Meals are provided by the resident housekeeper.

Visitors will have an opportunity to see life in an Abbeyfield house. Light refreshments will be provided and all are invited.
