A SALISBURY shopper was presented with a bumper-load of prizes worth a staggering £1,500.

Marguerite Cook was the lucky winner of the Salisbury Independents Christmas Giveaway.

She said the win was a lovely surprise and added: “I couldn’t believe it.”

More than 30 independent businesses in the city got together to donate the prizes and vouchers worth £1,700.

The remaining £200 of prizes were won by Lynn Strange from Tisbury. She was presented with her prizes by Simon Abbott, of Zoo Jewellery.

The Christmas Giveaway has been supported by Salisbury BID.

Salisbury MP John Glen supported the event and is pictured at the draw, held in the immediate run-up to Christmas Day.
