A care home near Banbury is preparing for its own Christmas lights switch on.

Seccombe Court, in Adderbury, is inviting people to join the festive event on Wednesday, December 11.

The switch on will begin at 4.30pm and will see the home’s courtyard garden illuminated with Christmas lights.

Guests will enjoy complimentary mulled wine and mince pies, while soaking in Christmas carols sung by the Bloxham Choir and the home’s own choir.

Wojciech Kuczkowski, general manager at the care home, said: "We’re committed to playing an active role in the community here at Seccombe Court, which is why we’re thrilled to be opening our doors for some festive fun.

"Our light switch on will be a wonderful opportunity to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.

"It’s also a lovely time for residents to reminisce about their happy Christmas memories, share a story or two, and meet new people from the local community - while seeing a spectacle of light in their back garden each night.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone into Seccombe Court - I can hear the jingle bells already."

The lights have been put up by the home’s maintenance team, with help from the residents’ relatives.

The care home provides full-time residential, dementia, and respite care, and aims to support residents to live "active and fulfilled lives".
