Drinks flow freely at Chatburn cocktail 'party'

Wellocks wholesalers based at Nelson distributed litres of fresh fruit juices to businesses to avoid any unnecessary waste.

Staff and residents at the Manor House Nursing Home in Chatburn appreciated the kind gesture and making the most of it all, enjoyed a tropical themed afternoon with fancy cocktails. The staff team then raised the roof performing dance routines to entertain the residents.

A spokesman said: "The cocktail party brought great joy, fun and laughter to the afternoon."
