A mammoth three day beauty event is heading to The Trafford Centre - its largest inside event since 2019 - and as well as giving away goodie bags and freebies it will be encouraging diversity while also raising breast cancer awareness.
Volunteers wearing giant boob costumes are set to turn heads and visitors can walk away with a host of skin treatments, discounts, goodie bags and prizes at the event from April 29 to May 1. A powerful performance, choreographed by Creative Director Paul Swaby, will showcase a host of diverse talent named 'The Beauty Tribe' and will take place around the centre’s Main Dome between 12 and 5pm daily at the event. The performance is aimed at encouraging self acceptance and inspiring visitors to feel confident and comfortable in "their own unique, beautiful skin."
