Hollywood comes to Larkrise Care Centre in Banbury

There was plenty of glitz and Hollywood glamour on the night as guests dressed to impress in their cocktail dresses and tuxedoes. Guests then enjoyed a fish and chip supper with a glass of bubbly whilst a magician entertained the room ahead of the awards ceremony which was hosted by Banbury Town Councillor Mark Cherry.

In the weeks leading up to the awards evening employees and residents were asked to submit votes in categories such as ‘Best Dressed’, ‘Nicest Smile’ and ‘Best Dancer’.

Guests at the event were delighted to find out the result of the votes as Cherwell District Cllr Mark Cherry revealed the night’s winners, each of whom received a medal of achievement.

Resident Olive, who won the ‘Tidiest Resident’ award, said: “It’s been a lovely evening. They do such a lot for us here and it’s nice to celebrate together.”

Home Manager, Lyndsay Sard, said: “We love our annual Larkrise Oscars evening. It started as a way to do something a little bit different to celebrate our big extended Larkrise family here at the home and now it’s a special date in the calendar to look forward to.

"It’s a good excuse for everyone to get dressed up and have a party - some of our residents will carry on dancing into the evening. It’s lovely to see.”
