It’s the perfect place to build a routine that fits into real life. Think five-minute fixes, glow-boosting essentials and products that work as hard as you do.
It’s also the home of the Eldon Square Self-Care Weekend Event, taking place Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March. It’s an unmissable opportunity to discover new brands, get inspired and put your wellbeing first. (More about this later)

Five-minute fixes that actually work
Sephora Newcastle champions skincare as the ultimate form of self-care, and the Sephora Collection Hydrate range makes building an effective routine simple. Designed to restore, strengthen and protect the skin barrier, hero products like the Dewy Bubble Serum, Bouncy Water Jelly and Daily Defence SPF30 Fluid deliver hydration, glow and protection in just a few easy steps — ideal for busy mornings or low-effort evenings.
LUSH
Mood-boosting rituals for everyday wellbeing
LUSH turns self-care into a sensory experience with handmade, cruelty-free bath and body products designed to lift both mood and skin. From CBD Temple Balms that help calm or clear the mind, to energising shower bombs and refreshing facial sprays, these products are perfect for building mindful moments into your day. LUSH also offers in-store experiences, making it a go-to for feel-good escapes.
THE BODY SHOP
Nature-powered self-care from head to toe
The Body Shop blends powerful, plant-based ingredients with comforting textures and spa-like scents. The Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter gently removes makeup in seconds, while the Japanese Camellia Body Cream delivers velvety hydration with a calming floral finish. For a quick glow boost, the Edelweiss Liquid Peel exfoliates and lifts away daily pollutants, leaving skin smooth, fresh and radiant.
SELF-CARE WEEKEND EVENT AT ELDON SQUARE
Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March from 11am–3pm
Treat yourself to a proper reset at Eldon Square’s Self-Care Weekend. The event is spread across three easy-to-explore zones outside Fenwick, Whittard of Chelsea, and Sephora, with a relaxed flow that lets you dip in and out at your own pace. Expect live beauty and skincare demos from brands like John Lewis & Partners, Boots, Fenwick, Sephora, Clinique and Estée Lauder, alongside hair tech showcases, fragrance consultations, tea tastings, makeup moments and plenty of free samples. There are also complimentary hand and arm massages throughout the day, plus creative and community-led sessions in the Community Quarter to round things out.
Across the weekend, something is happening every hour, from glow-boosting skincare talks and K-Beauty demos to mini chair massages, makeup-as-self-care sessions and feel-good food samples. Alongside the experiences, loads of retailers are offering exclusive in-store perks, discounts and loyalty treats, so you can keep the self-care going long after the event ends. Whether you’re popping by for a quick pick-me-up or making a full afternoon of it, this is your excuse to slow down, try something new, and enjoy a little well-deserved indulgence.
