Sephora to open brand new store in Bristol this spring

Beauty fans, mark your calendars for another exciting Sephora UK opening, with the newest store location to be set in the vibrant city of Bristol in Cabot Circus.

The 4,660 square foot location will bring Sephora’s world-famous beauty playground to the heart of Bristol Shopping Quarter, stocked with a number of brands exclusive to Sephora that will be available in the region to shop in person for the first time. This new location continues to reflect the retailer’s ongoing store expansion commitment by bringing its iconic lineup of beloved brands across the nation, building deeper connections with communities, and making Sephora’s iconic beauty retail experience more accessible than ever before.

In addition to the new store location in Bristol, Sephora will also open its newest doors at Belfast Victoria Square in the early months of 2026.

With Bristol being well-known for its vibrant, creative spirit across the UK, the new store opening at Cabot Circus marks a convergence of the city’s artistic energy and playfulness with the equally playful, bold and expressive identity of Sephora. Located in the heart of the city centre, Cabot Circus is where contemporary retail meets striking architectural heritage, perfectly exemplifying Bristol’s distinctive blend of tradition and innovation. This mirrors Sephora UK’s own journey – from its humble beginnings in Limoges, France to opening its iconic flagship store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris to becoming the world’s number one prestige beauty retailer today – its origins rooted in heritage while continuously championing the latest trends and most exciting new brands.

Consistently cited as one of the happiest cities in the UK and is celebrated for iconic artists such as Banksy, world-leading engineering including the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Concorde, and a globally influential music scene, Sephora UK looks forward to bringing even more joy to Bristol’s passionate beauty community, becoming part of a city that leads with creativity, culture and individuality.

The Bristol location will join the rest of Sephora UK in offering local beauty enthusiasts an extensive range of world-renowned products, from cult favourites to indie icons, including Sephora’s own namesake range, Sephora Collection. Customers can shop exclusive ‘Only At Sephora’ brands such as rhode, Haus Labs, Makeup By Mario, Merit Beauty, INNBeauty Project, and Tower 28 alongside other TikTok-viral sensations lighting up the ‘Hot on Social’ table like Tatcha, Glossier, Glow Recipe, Rare Beauty, Sol De Janeiro and Kosas.

Sephora is more than just a place to shop – it’s about helping everyone look and feel their best. With a range of services from personalised beauty consultations that are now redeemable, gift wrap services, and engraving, there is plenty to discover in the world of Sephora.
