Residents and families gathered for a Windsor care home's annual midsummer party.

The Manor on Church Road, Old Windsor, opened its doors for the summer celebration, which featured live music, afternoon tea, and a chance to discuss care options in a relaxed setting.

The garden was transformed into a setting inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, complete with butterflies, bubbles and family-friendly fun.

Guests included local councillor and residents' association leader Lynn Jones.

Kester Fraser, home manager at The Manor, said: "It was wonderful to bring everyone together for a special afternoon that celebrated the rich and fulfilling lives residents enjoy while strengthening our connections with the local community."

Visitors also had the opportunity to see the care home following the completion of refurbishment works, which included improvements to most bedrooms and all communal areas, alongside enhancements to the gardens.

87-year-old resident Yvonne, known as Eve, shared her positive experience.

She said: "Before I moved here, I honestly wasn't sure I'd like living in a care home, but I really do."
