M&S opens Cabot Circus flagship, big return to Bristol includes fashion and beauty

M&S continues the rollout of new or either vastly improved UK stores with Cabot Circus falling into the all-new category. M&S has returned to Bristol city centre unveiling an 80,000 sq ft flagship store spanning three floors of food, fashion, home and beauty.

Two floors of fashion includes M&S’s biggest ever in-store beauty offer across almost 3,000 sq ft containing own-brands Apothecary and Fresh Elements Skincare as well as third-party brands including Estee Lauder and Clinique.

In Womenswear, its Jaeger womenswear collection and partywear highlights an offer of 15 different styles of the classic black party dress – “starting from just £26” – with the Velvet and Satin Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers “expected to be bestsellers”.

Meanwhile in kidswear, there’s a range of daywear essentials and festive partywear to choose from. On the upper level of the store features the Autograph menswear collection, as well as a range of suits.

In home, the M&S x Kelly Hoppen latest homeware edit “offers versatile and modern pieces”.

M&S Cabot Circus is one of over 20 new or renewed stores launching in the second half of this financial year. Bath Southgate, also a flagship full-line store, is set to open in February.

Paul O’Brien, director of Leasing and Commercialisation Performance for Cabot Circus owner/manager Hammerson, said: “As the number one most requested brand by our customers, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome M&S back into the heart of Bristol. With queues of customers snaking around Cabot Circus, we know this retail giant will be a major boost to the destination and the city more generally.

“As a result of our ongoing investment, and with even more new brands launching next year, this is a golden moment for Cabot Circus as we continue to deliver a vibrant, multi-use destination at the centre of the community.”
