Phoenix Stewart, community engagement manager at Swindon and Wiltshire Pride THE date has been announced for this year’s Swindon and Wiltshire Pride celebrations. The LGBTQ+ festival was cancelled last summer because of the coronavirus pandemic but organisers are hopeful the event will be able to go ahead on Saturday, August 7. The charity’s community engagement manager Phoenix Stewart told BBC Radio Wiltshire: “We’re really looking forward to it. “Back in 2019 we had over 10,000 people come along to Pride and enjoy themselves and celebrate who they are. It’s a family event anyone can come along and more importantly it’s free.”
