FREE blood pressure checks and the chance to win a Kindle Fire are among the attractions at an open day.

Angel Pharmacy is holding the open day at its Abbotsbury Road branch on Thursday September 19 after a refit of the premises.

The day, from 10am onwards, is also being held for the national Know Your Numbers Week from the Blood Pressure Association.

The campaign encourages people to know their blood pressure numbers and maintain a healthy level.

High blood pressure is often referred to as the silent killer as people will not know if their blood pressure is high unless they have it checked.

There will be free blood pressure checks at the pharmacy as well as free carbon monoxide checks and a competition to win the Kindle Fire computer reading tablet.

There will also be cakes, goodie bags and the chance to see the new store.

Angel has four pharmacies in Weymouth.
