Children in Ripon are invited to a day of entertainment this half term with a range of Easter activities at Specsavers.
The Specsavers team are hosting an additional kids’ clinic on Thursday (17th April) following the success of one earlier this month.
Visitors can expect 'egg-citing' fun and games, including a festive colouring station, where they can bring their favourite spring characters to life while they wait to be seen by the optician.
After their eye test, each child will also be invited to take part in a lucky dip to find the special golden chocolate egg and win a pair of tickets to take a spin on the Ripon Big Sky Wheel, which is situated outside Specsavers Ripon until 27th April.
On top of the kids' clinic, the store is also one of the businesses taking part in the Ripon BID Easter Egg Hunt, which runs until 22nd April.
Kids can pick up a trail map in-store and set off on a fun-filled hunt to discover eggs throughout the town.
The team at Specsavers Ripon understands that visiting a healthcare environment can often feel daunting for many children.
They hope to make the experience fun and memorable in true holiday fashion to ensure children get their eyes tested before they go back to school.
Annette Duffy, retail director at Specsavers Ripon, said:
"Everyone at the store is excited to welcome families across Ripon to our fun day on Thursday, after such an incredible turnout in the first half of the holidays.
"We understand that visiting the opticians can be overwhelming for children, so we hope that our range of engaging activities will create an environment where kids feel comfortable talking about their vision.
"This allows us to ensure they get the right care, and we can make them feel more confident on the first day of term."
