MARLBOROUGH was visited by some VIPs on Friday during the grand opening of the new Dogs Trust charity shop.

To mark the occasion some Very Important Pooches from the Dogs Trust Salisbury Rehoming Centre visited the shop in Hillier’s Yard.

Katy Warren, Dogs Trust charity shop area manager, said: “We’re very excited to be setting up a Dogs Trust shop here in Marlborough.

“We have already received some very generous donations from members of the public but would be grateful for any extra items that can be spared.

“We’ll be stocking everything and anything – from books and clothes to ornaments and household items.”

If you have any items you would like to donate, drop them the shop between 9am and 5pm Monday to Saturday or call 01672 513753.
