An Oscar-themed party was a huge hit with residents at a Banstead care home.

A red carpet and clicking photographer set the stage for the evening of champagne, canapes, and its own awards ceremony.

The care home, Sunrise of Banstead, also organised a sit-down evening meal which was followed by the ceremony.

Prizes up for grabs, included the ‘Most Glamorous Resident’, the ‘Most Fascinating Resident’ and the ‘Unsung Hero’ award.

The celebrations were rounded off by a mix of swing and rock music, performed by Epsom singer Chaise Aitch.

Tamara Juckes, Sunrise activities and volunteer coordinator, said: “The awards evening was a wonderful opportunity to bring together residents, team members, friends and family to celebrate Sunrise of Banstead and all those who make it such a friendly, engaging and fun place to live and work.

“It was a pleasure to host such a fantastic event and it really was wonderful to see all our guests and residents embracing the party spirit by joining in with the singing and dancing. A big thank you to Chaise Aitch for providing such a wonderful performance.”
