Visitors and residents of Ashfields care home were invited to enjoy a day of 60s and 70s music, a barbecue, face painting and coffee on April 21.

They were also given the chance to look around the facility and meet the staff.

'For anyone who wasn't able to make it, our doors are always open for a tea and a tour.'

Music on the day was provided by Mark Memphis King, while cakes were made by staff and family members.
