Organised by Pride Salisbury, the event has brought live music and entertainment to the park, with 17 acts performing throughout the day.
These include X Factor star Lloyd Daniels, The Stingrays, Marina E and Luscious Lips.

Last year, Pride celebrations were held virtually due to the pandemic.
However, organisers have worked round the clock to bring back the in-person event, which is designed to show solidarity to the LGBTQ+ community.

Today there was also a chance for people to grab a jab at a pop-up vaccine clinic set up in the park.
The move is part of the NHS's efforts to reach out to younger people and boost the uptake of the vaccine.
