Elderly residents embraced their wicked sides for a spooky party.

Pensioners and staff at The Oast care home, in Plains Avenue, celebrated Halloween with a feast, live entertainment and games.

They all dressed up for the occasion, complete with the home’s own black cat, - Whiskey.

Friends and family attended, including the relatives of Louisa Gilbert, who passed away at the home in September, aged 93. The Gilbert family paid for the entertainment as a gift from Louisa.

Manager Rachel Nemchand said: “It was a really good party. We had lots of family and friends here, and a buffet for everyone. All of the residents loved it.”
