Warminster, in Wiltshire, had a population of around 18,200 at the 2021 census — a garrison town that briefly became one of Britain's best-known UFO hotspots.
The mystery that put Warminster on the map
In February 1965, a flock of pigeons in Warminster was found suddenly dead, followed by reports of strange tearing and droning noises heard across the town at night. Sightings of lights in the sky followed, and by that August bank holiday an estimated 8,000 people had descended on the town hoping to witness what the press had dubbed "the Thing" — a mystery that was never conclusively explained.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Warminster shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Warminster shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Salisbury or Bath for a wider selection.
