Sephora UK has confirmed it will open a new store at Oxford Westgate on 07 November 2025, marking its fifth and final UK opening of the year.
Spanning 3,919 sq ft, the store will be Sephora’s 12th in the UK and will bring the brand’s globally recognised beauty experience to Oxfordshire for the first time.
The launch follows a series of store openings in 2025, including Liverpool ONE, Sheffield Meadowhall and Manchester Arndale, alongside Cardiff St David’s, the first Sephora store outside England.
Oxford’s blend of heritage, vibrant student life and global tourist appeal made it the ideal choice for the brand’s latest beauty hub.
Sarah Boyd, Managing Director of Sephora UK, said:
“We’re thrilled to be bringing Sephora UK to the beautiful city of Oxford and the iconic Westgate Centre in the heart of the town.
“This marks our 12th store in the UK, with the passionate response from the UK beauty community continuing to drive our strategy as we look for new locations.
“With Oxford’s vibrant beauty scene, its dynamic student presence, and global tourist appeal, we expect this new store to become a buzzing hub of beauty activity.”
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, added:
“Sephora is an excellent addition to our mix of brands at the centre and a superb opening for the region as well, setting Oxford apart as a prime shopping destination. We know our guests are really excited to see Sephora open its doors and we can’t wait to see the buzz on opening day.”
As part of its evolution, Sephora will introduce its new Beauty Bonus Card giveaway model in Oxford, replacing the traditional “first in line” approach.
Every shopper who makes a purchase across the opening weekend will receive a card with a chance to win prizes ranging from full-size products to goodie bags.
Customers can expect a wide selection of leading beauty products, including Sephora Collection, TikTok-viral favourites, and exclusive “Only at Sephora” brands such as Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, Makeup by Mario and Merit Beauty.
The Oxford store will also provide in-store services, including personal beauty consultations, gift wrapping and engraving.
