Residents at Penwortham Grange and Lodge Care Home in Preston were transported back in time for a spectacular 1920s-themed celebration, complete with live music, vintage games, and plenty of dancing.

The home was buzzing with excitement as residents arrived to find a beautifully decorated lounge, complete with a glamorous backdrop, feather boas, headbands, and top hats. Glasses of fizz and Schloer were raised as the festivities began.

A highlight of the day was a live vintage performance from singer and entertainer Poppy Holiday, whose love for the 1920s shone through every note. Her set, filled with nostalgic classics, had residents clapping, toe-tapping and even dancing along.

The laughter continued with a lively "Name That Tune" competition, where residents Joan and Marjorie proved to be the ultimate musical detectives. Joan was thrilled to win a handmade teddy bear, lovingly created by Poppy herself - a sweet keepsake from a special day.
