The LGBTQ+ charity will open a temporary shop in the Brunel shopping centre next weekend. Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th December.
Phoenix Stewart-Community engagement manager said “We are extremely excited to be opening up our very first pop up shop and are grateful to the Brunel shopping Centre for supporting us. This is an opportunity for us to provide that much needed visible presence on the high street to show that it’s ok to be LGBTQ+”
The shop will be selling Pride merchandise to raise funds for its 2020 Pride Festival, sponsored by Nationwide Building Society, which will be held on Saturday 8th August next year.
You’ll also have a chance to meet the 2020 committee and representatives from “Out of the Can” which is an LGBTQ+ Youth Group.
There will also be Drag Queen Story Hour which will be running at 10am,12pm and 2pm. It’s aimed at 3-7 year olds and is FREE to attend.
Drag Queen Story Hour celebrates diversity and encourages children to look beyond gender stereotypes and embrace unfettered exploration of self.
