A DAY out to historic Coughton Court was the treat in store for members of the Worcestershire Association of Carers (WAC).

Almost 80 carers and their cared-for enjoyed a day at the National Trust property to mark National Carers Week, including a tasty lunch.

A WAC spokeswoman said: "This year we are looking at how important it is to look after the health of the carer and their emotional wellbeing. We are very grateful to the National Trust for their support, which has enabled us to make this day available to so many carers."

Other free events held across the county for WAC members included stress-busting days of Tai Chi in Evesham and Worcester.
