The annual event at Richard Cox House was to raise money for the Amenities Fund, which will benefit residents on future outings and activities.

A total of £231 was raised on the day.

Families and residents enjoyed themselves, with plenty of entertainment such as music, a raffle, and of course, the barbecue.

A spokeswoman said: "It was the day the heavens decided to open and rain, but not even the bad weather could stop Richard Cox House and our visitors from enjoying themselves.
