STAFF and residents from a Dorset care home have been treated to a virtual tour of the Sealife centre.

Sealife London Aquarium virtually welcomed staff and residents from Barchester's Trinity Manor care home in Sherborne so they could get up close to a colony of penguins and be wowed with feeding time for turtles and sharks.

The presentation was hosted by senior curator James Wright who was thrilled to bring some underwater entertainment to Sherborne. He said: "It was wonderful to be able to show the Barchester residents some of the fantastic creatures we have at Sealife London Aquarium, we are very proud of the work our brilliant teams do. We were just so happy to be able to share our beautiful world beneath the waves with them.

General Manager at Barchester Sohail Daniel said: "Our residents love finding out about new things and they are all especially interested in animals so we were delighted to be able to watch this presentation."
