Residents discover their dancing feet in celebratory concert

TWINKLE-toed residents at a Wrexham care home danced their way through the decades at a surprise concert courtesy of an award-winning painter.

Pendine Park’s Hillbury Care Home opened its doors to The Adderbury String Quartet for an afternoon concert, much to the delight of residents and staff.

The performance was funded by artist Angela Scott who hosted a charity art exhibition in honour of her sister, 91-year-old resident and former Mayor of Knutsford Jenny Holbrook, who suffers with dementia.

The watercolour painter was joined by ceramist Caroline Pearce for the fundraiser, which netted more than £3,500 from the sale of 10 of Angela’s paintings. Caroline also made a donation of £525.

The funds were split between Alzheimer’s Research and Hillbury Care Home, where Angela and Jenny’s niece, Rose Redgrave, daughter of the sculptor, painter and poet William Redgrave, helped organise an afternoon of music by musicians from The Adderbury String Quartet.
