A WIDNES care home received a special visit from a host of cartoon characters at its summer fair.

Halton View Care Home, near to the town centre, welcomed Marshall the dog from Nickelodeon’s Paw Patrol and Disney’s Minnie Mouse as well as the Mayor of Halton Cllr Alan Lowe for its beach-themed fair.

Residents and staff, as well as their friends and families, enjoyed a barbecue, stalls and seaside play area as well as a soft player area for little ones.

The annual fair is held to raise funds for day trips for residents throughout the year.

Home manager Amanda Kelly said: “We had a fantastic turnout for this year’s summer fair.

“I can’t thank everyone enough for coming along and donating to the residents’ fund.”
