A care home Chinese New Year last week with colourful snakes and lanterns.

The residents of Greenacres in the Horseshoe, Banstead, which provides long-term care for elderly people, some of whom have physical or learning difficulties, decorated the home with ornaments made during arts and crafts activities.

There was also a Chinese dinner, which was enjoyed by all.

The home’s business manager, Jean Williamson, said: "This was such an exciting event.

"There was lots of colour, wonderful food all made from fresh seasonal ingredients. What a great way to see in the New Year."
