THE Weir Nursing Home at Swainshill, Hereford recently transformed its sitting room into a theatre for the pantomime, Aladdin . Residents were entertained by four performers from Tickled Pink Productions who had an adaptable set with all favourite panto characters – Widow Twankey, Evil Abanazar, Princess Jasmine and, of course, Aladdin. It lasted an hour and was packed with songs, dances and comedy from start to finish. Twenty-six residents were able to enjoy the panto and many got into the swing of it.

Organiser said it was lovely to bring a panto into the home for the second year running – it lifted everyone’s spirits and was lovely to see people laughing and smiling.

At The Weir, staff try to give the residents a variety of activities and entertainment. Magician, Mr Bamboozlerecently entertained residents with his wonderful magic and balloon-modelling skill
