Dive into a world of glamour at Trafford Centre’s Beautopia weekend

Immerse yourself in an array of exciting activities and experiences as Manchester’s Trafford Centre becomes a haven for beauty enthusiasts as it hosts the much-anticipated Beautopia weekender.

This free event from Friday, May 2, to Sunday, May 4 will see the shopping complex transformed into an interactive beauty playground - from glow-boosting skincare to must-have makeup and signature fragrances.

Taking place in The Orient and various beauty stores throughout the centre, the event invites attendees to immerse themselves in a vibrant world where beauty meets play.

Visitors can explore the latest trends, sample must-have products, and enjoy complimentary make-up sessions. The event will also feature interactive experiences such as Beauty Bowling, a Ball Pool of Beauty, and Glow-up Golf, along with numerous fun photo opportunities.

Centre director Simon Layton said: “We’re going big on beauty with our incredible Beautopia weekend. We’re thrilled to host some of the biggest names in beauty and bring guests a jam-packed weekend of fun - this is not your average beauty event!”

Customers who spend £65 or more across Trafford Centre beauty brands during the weekend will get a chance to spin a giant prize wheel every hour from 12-5pm daily. The wheel offers exciting goodies including makeup samples, fragrances, and hair styling tools.

In addition to the main event, special in-store events will be taking place across beauty retailers. From exclusive masterclasses to product launches, there's something for everyone.

Selfridges will run workshops and demos; Boots will offer samples, goody bags, complimentary fizz and a live DJ; Rituals will provide gifts with purchase – with many more in-store events.
