Sephora is continuing its major retail venue rollout, opening at Hammerson-owned Cabot Circus in Bristol this spring as the global beauty brand now targets South-West England to fill in its UK expansion gaps.

Paul O’Brien, director of Leasing & Commercialisation at Hammerson, said: “Securing this beauty powerhouse underpins Cabot Circus’ leading position in the South-West and underscores the demand for our prime city location. It builds on a series of carefully curated new arrivals across retail, food, drink and leisure.
These brands are choosing to grow with us in the heart of Bristol, drawn to our location and catchment across the city and beyond, enabling the best and latest experiences for our customers.”
Sephora becomes the latest major brand secured at the venue, following the launch of a flagship 80,000 sq ft M&S store last year with Sephora arriving shortly after a new Odeon cinema, which is due to open next month.
The LVMH-owned brand’s continuing UK growth plan comes after last year’s second Manchester opening, plus Yorkshire’s Meadowhall and Liverpool One. These add to Bluewater in Kent, Newcastle’s Eldon Square, Gateshead’s Metrocentre and Birmingham last year and Westfield London in late 2023.
