Sephora UK opens in Sheffield Meadowhall as it welcomes its 9th UK store

Global beauty retailer Sephora UK is officially saying “Ay up” to Sheffield as it opened the doors to its first-ever Yorkshire location at Meadowhall on Friday 11^th July. The highly anticipated launch saw 1,000 customers queueing early this morning, eager to get their hands on one of Sephora’s beloved first customer goodie bags.

Spanning 3,389 square feet of curated beauty heaven, the new Sheffield store marks Sephora UK’s first opening of summer 2025, following its Liverpool ONE debut in May. It continues a rapid expansion streak, which in 2024 included new stores in Manchester Trafford Centre, Newcastle Eldon Square, Gateshead Metrocentre, Birmingham Bullring, and Bluewater Shopping Centre. With further openings on the horizon – including Manchester Arndale, Oxford Westgate, and Cardiff St David’s – Sephora is building momentum across the UK and bringing prestige beauty closer to more communities and regions in the country than ever before.

“2025 is shaping up to be one of our most exciting (and busiest!) years yet at Sephora UK and bringing our beauty playground to Sheffield is a huge part of that momentum. Every new store is a celebration of our commitment to making beauty more accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for the unique communities we join. No matter how many openings we have on the calendar, each one feels just as special, and our team can’t wait to open the doors for our Yorkshire beauty lovers,” said Sarah Boyd, Managing Director, Sephora UK.

“It’s fantastic to see Sephora officially open its doors this morning – we know how excited our shoppers have been for the store to arrive at the centre. It’s been brilliant to see so many here on the opening day, enjoying the entertainment and discovering all that it has to offer.

This opening marks a major milestone for the centre, further elevating our premium beauty offering and reinforcing our position as one of the UK’s leading shopping destinations. Due to Sephora’s unique retail experience and exclusive product ranges we’re confident it will become a go-to destination for beauty lovers across the regions,” said Darren Pearce, Centre Director at Meadowhall.
