Ice cream cones and candy floss were on the menu at The Chanters care home in Atherton with a ‘Blackpool’ themed day for residents.
The Chanters hosted the seaside special with classic face-in-a-hole cutouts, 99 ice cream cones, hook-a-duck and coin pusher games.
Residents were lucky to enjoy glorious sunshine (unlike most trips to Blackpool) and there was even ‘donkey rides’ – though in the form of hobby horses.
Lyndsey, activities coordinator at The Chanters care home, said: “Due to covid guidelines at the time of the event in the summer, we were still not able to take all of our residents out and about. Usually trips to Blackpool are really popular with our residents, so we decided that if we can’t go there, let’s bring the seaside to us!
“Everyone had a great day enjoying ice creams and games in the sun. There were some great pictures being sent to grandchildren over at the face-in-a-hole area too.
“I heard lots of great stories from residents about trips to the seaside, so I think it certainly brought back memories for some.”
