The new store will allow customers to shop for brands that were not previously available in the UK market

Its newest location will be on the high street of the upper level of Sheffield’s Meadowhall centre, set to open in the summer. This is the second store opening announcement for 2025, following news of a spring opening at Liverpool One

So far, it has stores in Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City, Manchester’s Trafford Centre, Newcastle’s Eldon Square, Gateshead’s Metrocentre, Birmingham Bullring and Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent.

Sephora said regional openings for its UK stores have been met with queues of customers eager to shop with brands that were not previously available in the UK market.

The new store will stock a range of exclusive and non-exclusive beauty brands as well as a dedicated Sephora collection area to demonstrate its own range of cosmetics, body care and hair care.

Customers can also receive beauty treatments through Sephora’s in-store beauty services at its beauty hub, offering a selection of bookable services such as makeup application, skin care services, and hair styling.

Sephora UK managing director Sarah Boyd said: “We are thrilled to continue our exciting UK expansion plans with the opening of our first store in Yorkshire at Meadowhall in Sheffield. We spent the last year refining our incredible in-store experiences as we rolled out our first batch of regional stores, highlighting our dedication and commitment to being inclusive, accessible, and connected to the communities we serve.

“Meadowhall is the perfect location for us to continue driving that experience in this dynamic, thriving region, and our team is eager to welcome customers to our beauty playground.” 

Meadowhall centre director Darren Pearce added: “We’re incredibly excited about the upcoming arrival of Sephora at Meadowhall this summer. The iconic beauty brand has taken the UK by storm and being one of the first places Sephora has chosen for a store is fantastic.

“Sephora’s in-store experiences, extensive range and exclusive brands that have been so popular across the globe will undoubtedly be a huge hit with our visitors and we know they will be just as excited as us about the opening.”
