Free hugs! 

Swindon shoppers get a nice surprise

 

Group hug!: one passer-by snuggles up

Saturday shoppers were treated to something a little bit more than queues and rain this weekend - with free hugs on offer!

 

But no, it wasn't a hippy convention.

 

The hugs were courtesy of 

promoters from Suju nightclub, who were enticing people to their 'Love Love' event that evening.

 

And with passers-by running over for a quick squeeze, it brought a little bit of fun to what had been a grey day.

 

19-year-old Sammy Morgan from Cirencester, said: "I've been shopping here a few times, but I've never seen them giving hugs out before - I think it's really fun!"
