Visitors can also stop by Selfridges’ interactive beauty bar to create personalised beauty packs, while Space NK’s Summer Society Hotel pop-up will offer limited-edition products, beauty treats and photo opportunities and John Lewis will share summer beauty tips and in-store experiences.

On Sunday 7 June, Gemma Atkinson will host Gem & Tonic, a live beauty talk and Q&A from 1pm to 2.30pm. The session will focus on beauty, wellbeing and confidence, while also introducing the brand’s gemstone-inspired beauty range.

Shoppers spending £65 or more on beauty products across the centre during the event will also have the chance to win a Trafford Centre gift card through a “crack the code” competition.
