Senior citizens had a wonderful time and tucked into turkey with all the trimmings at a Christmas party.

Some 160 people including the Mayor and Mayoress of Swale Cllrs Alan and Jean Willicombe went along to Merlins Entertainment Complex in Leysdown for their seasonal bash on Wednesday.

They were also treated to live music and all the staff dressed up as Santa to make sure the party, laid on by Leysdown and Warden Bay Parish Councils, went off with a festive bang.

Co-owner of Merlins Lee Dunne said: “They had a wonderful time and all the staff worked really hard to put on a great party.”
