ASDA Magic - 8 Hours?

I applied for a few jobs with ASDA and just recently attended an 'ASDA Magic' for a Section Leader role in a supermarket store. This was scheduled for 2 hours and lasted about 2 and a half. I know a couple of people who have been to Magic events and theirs lasted about the same.

While waiting to hear the outcome of this, I've been invited to attend another Magic, again for a Section Leader role, in another supermarket store. This one however is taking place in a Superstore instead, presumably for space reasons, and is scheduled to start at 9am until 5pm. 8 hours for an interview?!

Has anyone heard of this happening or been to one? I can't seem to find any mention of anything similar. Will they really keep us all day, or is it likely to be a mistake? Luckily, I'm not this desperate!
