Swanage Minions Special Edition Fish & Food Festival Style!

Meet Danny – the creative genius behind @minion’sofswanage!

Danny brings joy to kids and grown-ups with her brilliant Minions treasure hunt right here in Swanage. She hand-paints hundreds of Minion pebbles and hides them all over town for families to find, snap a photo, share on her Facebook page, and then re-hide for the next adventurers. It’s a fun, free, and fantastic way to explore Swanage!

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, Danny has created 10 Special Edition Fish & Food Festival Minions and they’ll be hidden around town during the festival weekend!

Can you find one? Be sure to post your discovery on @minion’sofswanage and tag us too –

we’d love to see all your brilliant finds!

Let the hunt begin! 🎯🔍💥
