Meet the Minions in Fleetwood: Free Family Day on 8 August
Meet the Minions is set for Saturday 8 August 2026 at Affinity Outlet Lancashire, Anchorage Road, Fleetwood. The free family event runs from 11am to 4pm, with no booking required.
According to the Visit Lancashire event listing, the Despicable Minions will make four scheduled appearances in the venue’s event space. Free face painting will run alongside the character programme, giving families an activity before the first appearance and between the later sessions.
When to see the Minions in Fleetwood
The Minions are due to appear at 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. These are four separate scheduled appearances rather than one continuous session, so visitors should choose one of the published times instead of expecting the characters to be present throughout the five-hour event.
The listing does not say how long each appearance will last or provide capacity information. Families planning their visit around a particular session should therefore arrive in time for its advertised start. The final confirmed appearance begins at 3pm, one hour before the wider event and face painting finish.
Free face painting from 11am to 4pm
Face painting begins at 11am, an hour before the first Minion appearance, and remains available until 4pm. It is also free, meaning there is no advertised charge for either of the event’s confirmed activities.
This timing gives families several ways to structure a visit: face painting before the noon appearance, between two character sessions or after the final appearance. The source does not publish a separate face-painting timetable, so it should be treated as an activity available during the stated 11am-to-4pm window rather than at fixed session times.
The event falls during the school holidays and is listed for families. Visitors looking for another activity at the same Fleetwood venue can also read about the free Mythical Maze Quest at Affinity Lancashire.
