Rudi van Niekerk kept the crowd entertained with lively music that had everyone singing and dancing.
“A fantastic time was had by all. It was wonderful to see so many of our new residents participating for the first time,” said Jackie Scott, deputy manager of Thornhill Manor.
“Social interaction is crucial as we age. It helps to combat loneliness, boredom and a sense of helplessness,” she added.
All proceeds from the fete will go towards the village fund.
Residents will decide how to use the fund for special projects to enhance the community and benefit everyone.
