Sun shines on care home sports day and barbecue in Beverley
Residents enjoyed traditional races, sunshine and barbecue as families and friends joined them for summer celebration
Residents at a Beverley care home stepped back in time as they took part in traditional sports ray races and enjoyed a summer barbecue with family and friends.
Lindum House Care Home hosted the outdoor celebration, with residents, relatives and staff making the most of the warm weather with classic events including an egg-and-spoon race and a sack race.
The activities sparked memories of school sports days, with residents sharing stories of the competitions they had taken part in during their younger years.
The event also featured a barbecue prepared by the home's hospitality team.
Jayne Clarke, General Manager at Lindum House, said: "The barbecue was a great excuse for us to get outside in the sunshine and enjoy some fantastic food in our award-winning gardens. Our chef is a champion on the grill. It was wonderful to see residents, families and staff spending time together outdoors. For once, the weather played ball."
Resident Alan said: "I've always loved a good barbecue. It was so nice to sit outside in the sunshine with my friends.
"The food was absolutely delicious and we were so lucky with the weather. It was a perfect day."
