Residents at White Lodge care home in Swindon were treated to an afternoon of live music and a Teddy Bear Picnic.

As part of a community gathering group, 'The Cast of Stage Struck', belted out classic hits and popular sing-alongs in the home.

A mix of sweet and savoury treats, including jam sandwiches, cakes, and homemade donuts, were served by the hospitality team for guests to enjoy during the performance.

General manager, Ramona Gherandi said: "Our residents and guests had a wonderful day singing along with the wonderful performers.

"We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at White Lodge as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one of our favourites."

A resident of the home said: "I haven’t heard some of these songs in many years.

"The classics never go out of style."
