Residents of a Somerset nursing home enjoyed a day of fun at an Easter fair.
The event, organised by Frome Nursing Home in Somerset, was more than just an assortment of stalls and activities; it was a celebration of community spirit.
The fair, organised on Easter Sunday, welcomed residents, local traders, and the wider community.
It offered a relaxing afternoon for people to celebrate and socialise.
The event was open to all ages, ensuring there was something for everyone.
Twinnies Petting Farm was a major attraction, bringing with them newly born spring lambs.
This proved particularly popular with residents who had a farming background, providing a nostalgic connection to their past.
The younger guests were not left out, with face painting, children's rides, and an Easter egg hunt keeping them entertained.
Paul Wheeler's Punch and Judy show, which is a regular feature, drew an audience throughout the day, and a barbecue and pizza oven ensured no one went hungry.
Residents sat with visitors, continuing the nursing home's ethos of the importance of family and mealtime experience.
The event was organised with a focus on those living with dementia, ensuring they could engage in a way that felt comfortable, whether resting in a quiet corner or participating in crafts.
The home manager, Sherin, joined in the fun and was met with cheers as she took a ride on the swing.
A spokesperson for the nursing home said: "It’s not just about putting on an event, it’s about responding to what matters.
"Being outside, eating together, connecting with animals, or simply watching things unfold."
The spokesperson added that the day was successful thanks to a well-led team working behind the scenes, with careful planning and space for individual choice.
