THE Hall in Thornton-Le-Dale has revived its tradition of gifted Christmas lunches, which was put on hold for two years due to Covid restrictions.
The care home opened its doors for the first time to local pensioners in 2012 and gave Christmas lunches to the community – a tradition which continued until 2019.
This year around 50 people per day over three days joined the team in a heated marquee in the grounds of The Hall for a three-course meal, drinks and entertainment.
Chef Sean Carty prepared the festive feasts, which were served up by The Hall management team. The entertainment was Michael Buble tribute singer Lee Hutton, with karaoke and background music from DJ Lynne of AvA Entertainment supported by her husband Terry.
The seasonal atmosphere was completed with a flurry of snow as the community shared stories and reunited after two years apart.
