MORE than 400 people visited a pop-up Pride shop in the city centre today.

It’s a collaboration of Salisbury Pride and Swindon and Wiltshire Pride to help Salisbury Pride grow, and offers a safe space for people to ask questions and find support.

Swindon & Wiltshire Pride's shop is in Salisbury today and tomorrow as part of Pride Month.

It is touring the county and after appearing in Swindon last week, it will move on to Trowbridge on 19-20 June.
