Dawlish care home Sefton Hall has opened a new community café in its grounds.

The Forget-Me-Not Café will be open on Thursday mornings between 10am to 11.30am for members of the local community who are elderly or feeling isolated.

Visitors can use the café for free, but a donation to Sefton Hall's designated charity is welcomed. The café will also be used by the care home residents and their friends and families.

Its official opening by Mayor of Dawlish Rosie Dawson was marked by a day of country-and-western themed celebrations.

Southern Healthcare Managing Director Geoffrey Cox said: "It was an absolutely amazing day at Sefton Hall care home.

"Rosie kindly opened the community cafe, then we had live music from our five-piece jazz band, a barbecue, and a traditional Punch and Judy show.

"We also had musician George Williams playing on guitar and singing. It was a superb country-and-western themed day, complete with water pistol shoot-outs!

"I'd like to add a special thanks to the incredible team at Sefton Hall and the amazing culture of positivity, fun and contribution."

Sefton Hall is located on Plantation Terrace in Dawlish.
