Residents, staff and friends from the community gathered for an afternoon of whimsical wonder, dressed to impress as characters straight out of Roald Dahl's magical world.

The halls of the Parklands-owned care home came alive with a colourful array of characters, from Oompa Loompas to eccentric chocolatiers, all with the aim of raising money for the residents’ comfort fund.

Urray House manager Joe Greiner said: "Not only did we spread some Wonka magic, but we also raised funds for our residents' comfort fund and brought people from our community together. It was a truly scrumptious afternoon of pure imagination.”
