Specsavers Rochdale hosted a day full of wizardry and magic for all the family to enjoy, raising over £500 for Rochdale Children’s Moorland Home.
The day was held to mark the launch of Specsavers' new Harry Potter-inspired collection of children's frames.
Staff and customers donned their favourite wizarding outfits to enjoy a spellbinding day, all in aid of the respite centre for children from disadvantaged families.
"It was quite a spectacle having so many Harry Potter look-a-likes in the store, there’s a huge fan base amongst staff and the local community," said Sarah Culshaw, Specsavers Rochdale store director.
"We’re thrilled that Pottermania has helped us raise much-needed funds for such a worthy local cause."
