Space NK is set to open at Lakeside Shopping Centre in Grays on Friday (August 14), and will be the brand’s first store in Essex.

Known for stocking premium beauty brands, Space NK’s new location will offer products across skincare, makeup, fragrance, haircare and body care.

The Lakeside shop will carry brands such as Rare Beauty, Charlotte Tilbury, Drunk Elephant and Hourglass.

Nancy Foster, Centre Director at Lakeside Shopping Centre, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Space NK to Lakeside.

“Its arrival adds another fantastic offering to our ever-growing list of beauty retailers, bringing even more premium and highly sought-after brands to our guests.

“With an impressive ribbon cutting moment, exclusive giveaways and exciting beauty rewards, Space NK’s opening day will be an unmissable celebration, and we can’t wait to welcome our shoppers through the doors.”

Customers can look forward to a day of launch events, starting with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10am.

The first 100 shoppers to make a purchase and wear an opening-day wristband will receive a complimentary beauty gift, while the first 200 customers who spend £100 or more will receive a “premium beauty surprise”.

Anyone spending £30 or more will be able to choose a free item from a ‘Pick & Mix’ selection.

Charlie Evans, Head of Retail at Space NK, added: “We’re thrilled to be opening at Lakeside and bringing our curated collection of premium beauty brands to the centre and we can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors and celebrate together on opening day.

“Whether shoppers are looking to discover the latest launches, explore cult favourites or refresh their beauty routine, our new store at Lakeside will offer an exciting range across skincare, make-up, fragrance, haircare and body care.”

To add to the celebrations, shoppers will be able to enjoy a chocolate fountain outside the store, thanks to a partnership between Space NK and Chocofay, with chocolate-dipped strawberries on offer.
