LATE night shoppers in Malmesbury were joined by strange yellow creatures on Friday December 12.
They were the Minions from animated film - Despicable Me and were all part of the entertainment for the town’s celebration of Christmas and late night shopping.
Stools occupied the town’s main street while businesses stayed open later, offering shopper’s mince pies and mulled wine as well as great Christmas deals and offers.
Lockstones Estate Agents, who hired the Minions, also hosted a Santa’s Grotto as children from Malmesbury Primary came in to collect their prizes from the colouring in competition run by the High Street firm. Winners on the night included Freya Radcliffe, Daniel Eldridge Lynch and Troy Martin.
“The competition is something we do every year and it gets tougher and tougher to judge as it gets more and more popular,” said Lockstones David Rogers. “It was one of the busiest nights I can remember for the town and it is great to see everyone enjoying themselves
