A Melksham care home lit up the season with its annual "Big Blenheim Switch On."
Blenheim House welcomed residents, families, and neighbours to an evening of festive cheer, featuring music, live animals, snowfall effects, and mulled wine.
Councillor Saffi Rabey, Mayor of Melksham, led the celebrations, introducing performances that unfolded against a backdrop of blue skies.
Visitors enjoyed the sensory light tunnel, complete with falling snow, that led to a live nativity scene under the gazebo.
The Melksham One Voice Choir and Calne Silver Band entertained attendees and were joined by Santa, loaded with gifts.
Events manager Chris Preston said: "It was a truly magical evening.
"Seeing residents, families and our community come together with the Mayor, the Town Crier, local performers and volunteers was incredibly special."
"The live nativity, the snowfall, the choirs and the band made it feel like the start of Christmas in every way. We're so grateful to everyone who helped make the Big Blenheim Switch On such a success."
A Christmas tree donated by Leekes Store of Melksham and a live nativity scene from Chloe’s Farm added to the spectacle.
The event underscored the care home's commitment to creating shared experiences for its residents and the wider Melksham community.
