A SPECIAL interactive show was put on for care home residents to bring a bit of Christmas cheer and laughter ahead of the festivities.

Care UK's Larkland House in Ascot welcomed Tickled Pink Productions on November 23 to host a performance of The Wizard of Oz to the residents.

The care home was also joined by representatives from Age Concern Bracknell Forest to sing-along to the hit musical performance.

House manager, Shawndell Barker said: “Most of the residents were still children when 'The Wizard of Oz' was released in 1939 so this performance was a brilliant opportunity for them to remember their younger years."

Residents also got the chance to sing along to the musicals songs before being treated to a fish and chip supper after.

Ms Barker added: "It was fantastic to see how engaged they were during the singalong - the show was a hit for guests and residents alike."

The performance kicked off Larkland House's busy festive programme, which will also feature Christmas carols and a seasonal fair over the next forthcoming days.

The community has always been an important part of life here at Larkland House, so we felt it was important to invite our local Age Concern day centre to enjoy a musical performance with us to kick off our festive programme.
