WESTALL House welcomed people of all ages to its ‘Rainbow Westival’, a Pride-themed festival filled with colour, music and entertainment.
The house, which is managed by charity Abbeyfield Living Society and offers residential care, dementia-friendly care and independent living apartments for older people, opened its doors to the public and put on an array of family-friendly entertainment throughout the day.
Wellbeing and activities organiser Lynn Mayfield said: “It was a fantastic day for all who attended and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the music, food, fun and games.
“It couldn’t have happened without support and help from staff, family, friends and local businesses, who generously donated prizes for the raffle. Heartfelt thanks goes to each and every one of you.”
As well as a family fun day, the event celebrated Pride, and the headline act was drag queen Tuppence A Bag, who enchanted the audience with her unique look and catchy numbers.
Guests were also treated to performances from women’s vocal group Vox, who sang a selection of old and new favourites, and Marco, the singing magician.
Musician John McDevitt, Weald Ukelele Players and Singers, and a host of other Westall House favourites added to the musical acts that visitors enjoyed over the course of the day, which was capped with a colour run, giving everyone the chance to truly embrace the rainbow.
Other attractions included a bouncy castle and a variety of stalls including a tombola, raffle, hook-a-duck, face painting, floral hairbands, make your own bracelet, and guess the name of the sloth.
