RESIDENTS of The Paddocks residential home in Hilperton braved the rain and held a fete in the grounds on Saturday afternoon, July 20.
The home's fundraiser, attended by Trowbridge Mayor Andrew Bryant, raised money for entertainment and luxuries for residents, most of whom are elderly.
There were several stalls, including those selling plants, produce, bottles and sweets, as well as the tombola and raffle stalls.
Sue Tiller, manageress of The Paddocks, said she was pleased with the fete's success. It raised £337 for the 30 residents.
She said: "We all thoroughly enjoyed the day, despite the fact when we opened the door at 2pm the heavens decided to open as well. But the rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits."
The money will be used to hire singers and bands to entertain the residents.
