Swindon and Wiltshire Pride’s pop-up shop is returning to The Brunel Centre.
The temporary store will be open on the weekend of April 4 for the third time since the charity has started coming to the centre.
Phoenix Stewart, the charity’s community engagement manager said: “The shop has given us an opportunity to reach a great range of people and their families and has helped us spread the word that it’s ok to be LGBTQ+.
“Some people use the shop as a place to meet and socialise with like-minded people and others are seeking information and guidance.
“It is really rewarding for us to see that the facility, and the information we provide, really does help people to feel more comfortable with who they are.
“The previous pop-up shops were so well-received, and we had so many nice comments about the visibility of Pride that we just have to keep on doing this.”
It will sell a range of Pride merchandise, such as lanyards, mugs, sponges and badges and provide information on events.
The shop will be open 9am - 5pm on Saturday and 10am - 4pm on Sunday and will be next to Buzz gym.
