If you are a regular visitor to Cabot Circus or if you’ve just been there in the recent months, you will have noticed the brightly coloured steps that lead you down to the bottom floor of the shopping and food complex. Painted in all the colours of the rainbow, the steps represent the rainbow Pride flag.
First installed back in June last year, the 'Pride Steps' were painted as part of Bristol’s Pride celebrations. The bright swatches of colour on one half of the grey concrete steps were still there in the run-up to Christmas, and made a bright backdrop for everyone taking pictures of the giant Santa installation that towers over shoppers every December.
However, some shoppers hitting the January sales have been disappointed to notice that they have since disappeared. The shopping centre said the steps were only ever meant to be temporary.
