Meet the Minions in Fleetwood: Free Fun on 8 August
Families can meet the Despicable Minions for free at Affinity Outlet Lancashire in Fleetwood on 8 August 2026. The family event runs from 11am to 4pm at Affinity Lancashire, Anchorage Road, Fleetwood, FY7 6AE, and no booking is required.
Visit Lancashire Events lists Meet the Minions as a family, school-holiday and outdoor event. It is aimed at families, with four scheduled character appearances and free face painting across the five-hour programme.
When to see the Minions at Affinity Lancashire
The Minions are due to appear in the outlet’s event space at four published times:
- 12 noon
- 1pm
- 2pm
- 3pm
These are separate scheduled appearances rather than one continuous session. The event listing does not say how long each appearance will last, so families should plan around one of the four stated times instead of treating the period from noon until 3pm as an uninterrupted meet-and-greet.
The first appearance takes place one hour after the event begins, while the final slot is scheduled an hour before the advertised 4pm finish. This gives visitors a choice of four points during the afternoon, but the source does not provide any further timetable or details about what each appearance involves.
Free face painting throughout the event
Free face painting is advertised from 11am to 4pm. It begins before the first Minion appearance and is scheduled to remain available after the final 3pm appearance, making it the activity with the broadest published time window.
Both advertised parts of the programme—the character appearances and face painting—are free. No advance booking is required, according to the event information, so families can choose a visit time based on the published appearance schedule.
