A FUNDRAISING tea party at a Worcester care home will see staff dressed in vintage glad rags.

Members of the community have been invited to Regent Residential Care Home in School Road, St John's for the Time for a Cuppa tea party.

The event on Tuesday (March 4) is in aid of Dementia UK, and runs betweens 10am and 4pm.

Staff will be dressed from top to toe in fabulous 1950s finery, with polka dot dresses and neckerchiefs galore.

There will be vintage crockery and bunting – plus mouth-watering cakes in return for a donation to the charity.

Between 11am and noon singer John Estelle will be entertaining the residents and guests with music from the era.

The home’s activities leader Bridie Gray said: "The team and our residents love an excuse to get their glad rags on to support a good cause, so we thought a vintage themed Time for a Cuppa event would be perfect way to raise money for Dementia UK.

"Our chef will be baking some delicious treats, so we would love to see some new and familiar faces at our event to support our fundraising efforts."
