Father Christmas and real reindeer will be visiting Verwood House Care Home this December as part of a festive afternoon open to the whole community.
The care home on Ringwood Road is inviting residents and families to join its Christmas celebrations on Monday 14 December, between 2pm and 4pm.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet Father Christmas in his grotto, see real reindeer and explore a specially created Christmas Village.
There will also be a hot chocolate station and festive treats for guests to enjoy throughout the afternoon.
A charity raffle will raise money for University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity, which supports patients, staff and services at local hospitals.
Organisers say the event is open to everyone, with families particularly welcome to join residents and staff for the celebrations.
The afternoon is being organised by Hamberley Care Homes, which operates Verwood House, and aims to bring the local community together in the run-up to Christmas.
There is no need to book or RSVP, with visitors encouraged to simply turn up on the day.
