Staff and residents of the Highmarket House on North Bar Place are dusting off their dancing shoes in preparation of the brand-new Festival of the Decades, set to take place at the home from 1pm-4pm on Friday.
The festival comes as Highmarket House celebrates Care Home Open Week, a national initiative that encourages care homes to open their doors and showcase what life in a care home is really like.

Francesca Cowley, Home Manager at Highmarket House, commented: "We have our dancing shoes (and wellies!) at the ready as we gear up to celebrate Care Home Open Week and get set to welcome summer in style.
"We are always looking for new and exciting ways to support residents to lead fulfilling lives, and what better way to do that than to host our very own festival, as we pull out all the musical stops.
"We’re excited to be opening our doors to the community and look forward to welcoming the people of Banbury for what promises to be a truly memorable event—come along and join us for a musically good time!"For more information on the home or future events, visit careuk.com/highmarket-house
