HC-One Scotland’s Merino Court Care Home in Greenock, Inverclyde, was delighted to host a vibrant Summer Fête recently, bringing together residents, families, and members of the community for an afternoon filled with sunshine, smiles, and celebration.
Residents enjoyed a glorious sunny afternoon as the care home garden transformed into a bustling hub of activity and laughter. The event featured live music from local entertainer Billy Johnstone, creating a lively atmosphere that had everyone tapping their feet and singing along.
Children were thrilled with the fun-filled slip and slide, while guests of all ages enjoyed classic fête favourites such as the tombola, raffle, spin-the-wheel, and a much-loved cake and candy stall.
Adding to the excitement were special appearances from beloved mascots Mickey Mouse and Peppa Pig, who delighted both young visitors and residents with hugs, photos, and plenty of smiles.
Throughout the afternoon, refreshments and snacks were served, allowing everyone to relax, mingle, and enjoy the community spirit that Merino Court is proud to foster.
