BERMUDA shorts were the fashion accessory of choice in Burley-in-Wharfedale last weekend as the village underwent a Caribbean-flavoured transformation.
Sunny skies and the rhythmic sounds of a live Steel Band greeted visitors to Burley Hall Nursing Home, in Cornmill Lane, when it hosted a Caribbean Fun Day on Saturday,.
Guests were also treated to exotic food, tropical drinks, a treasure hunt, a guess-the-weight-of-the-cake game and a prize raffle, while a bouncy castle kept the children amused.
A spokesman for Burley Hall said: "The weather was fantastic, hot and sunny, and it was a great day - we must have had around 100 people here.
"The steel band were excellent and really created the right ambience for it. This was our first Caribbean Day and we may well do it again because it was so much fun."
The proceeds from the day, more than £600, will be shared between the Burley Roundhouse Restoration Fund and the Wharfe Valley Community Project.
