MULTIPLE city centre roads are closed this morning for a parade.

The Salisbury International Arts Festival kicks off today, May 26, with Patch's Parade from 11am until 11.45am.

Organised by Wiltshire Creative, the parade will walk Patch, a giant who lives beneath Milford Street Bridge, through the city to Market Square.

All roads connecting to Milford Street have been closed, including Rampart Road, Brown Street and Gigant Street.

This caused confusion for some drivers, including a Salisbury Reds bus driver who was forced to drop passengers off at the north entrance to Rampart Road.
