Bridgwater home glorifies Irish and Indian festivals

 

TWO cultures collided at the Rosary Nursing Home in Bridgwater yesterday.

Staff and residents celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick's Day before bringing a taste of Asia to mark the Indian spring festival of Holi.

There was an Irish bar serving up pints of Guinness followed by Indian attire, music and a curry for residents.

Lyn Taylor, manager, said: “There's no reason to restrict things to English celebrations; St Patrick's Day and Holi are very different events celebrated thousands of miles apart.

“We thought why not bring them together at our home by celebrating both.”
