Newtown farmer John Hughes, famously known as 'The Singing Farmer', welcomed the community back to The Oaks Care Home in Newtown, Powys, during a special Open Day.

John, who combines a large repertoire of songs with stories of life on the farm, performed to residents and visitors.

Open Day guests also included a number of local town and county councillors, Police Community Support Officers and members of the Canolfan Gwaith Y Drenewydd Jobcentre in Newtown.

Chefs at The Oaks Care Home in Newtown made a selection of home-made cakes for the event including chocolate brownies and marble cake.

The Oaks Care Home Manager Jen Roberts said: "It was such a lovely day and we all enjoyed welcoming our local neighbours, Police Community Support Officers, councillors and colleagues from the JobCentre back into the home after such a long time.

"Newtown is a very close-knit community and when we opened the home just over three years ago the community support was really amazing, and we have very much missed seeing our friends dropping in for a chat and a coffee."
