Care home residents and their families enjoyed all the fun of the fiesta when they enjoyed a taste of Mexico, without living Horwich.
And they even had a chance to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo festival.
Mexico was the first port of call on the 'Cruise Around the World' organised by St Catherine's Care Home armchair adventures.
The fun activity will take residents at the care home run by Four Seasons care homes across the UK, experiencing the sights, sounds, tastes and culture of destinations they’ve always wanted to visit.
And 'the ship' will be docking at fondly remembered destinations, so residents can share their stories about their travels in the past and take a trip down memory lane.
The fiesta had all the ingredients to transport guests to central Mexico, with vibrant decorations, lively music and lots of maracas.
