Swindon locals rush to get mooncakes for Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
This year it is taking place on September 17, although the date varies depending on the lunar calendar. Festivities include moon-watching and eating mooncakes - a pastry with a thin crust wrapped around a soft filling often made of red bean paste or lotus - which town centre store JJ Chinese Food say becomes very popular around this time of year - even among non-Chinese people.
