Shoppers at Cabot Circus are set for an exciting Spring with seven new brands opening their doors at Hammerson’s retail and leisure destination in the heart of Bristol.  

It’s time to shed your winter layers, refresh your wardrobe, and dine at Bristol’s newest culinary delights with seven new openings at Cabot Circus. Lush, Rituals, H&M and H&M Home, Goldsmiths, Zebel Bespoke and Kaiseki will also open this Spring as part of a seasonal refresh.

The roster of new openings underpins Hammerson’s strategy to reinvigorate the destination through exciting concepts, new brands and partnerships to complement the vibrant cultural events programme.

As part of a vision to create a new beauty quarter and strengthen the cosmetic offering at Cabot Circus, two new household brands will open their doors this Spring. Lush, the inventors of the fizzing bath bomb, will relocate from Broadmead to a new and bigger 3,500 sq ft store boasting its ethical cosmetics, skincare and gifts.

Lush will be complemented by luxury wellbeing brand, Rituals, synonymous for its beautifully scented diffusers, candles and body care gift sets.

Across Hammerson’s portfolio, premium jewellery brands have performed exceptionally well as people invest in timepieces after saving up during the pandemic. Rolex and luxury timepiece collectors will also be enamoured by Goldsmiths, which opened this Spring. The brand will be complemented by the arrival of Watches of Switzerland as the premium timepiece specialists continues its expansion in Europe.

The new Goldsmith store is located next to a new upsized H&M and Bristol’s first ever H&M Home, boasting a contemporary collection of homewares, décor and furniture, which is set to open just in time for Summer.

The menswear offer at Cabot Circus is also being strengthened with the addition of London-based tailored suits specialists Zebel Bespoke, which has built up a strong client base with its made to measure formal attire.

Bristol’s burgeoning gastronomical scene is the envy of the South West and Cabot Circus continues to play its part attracting culinary delights from all over the world. This includes Japanese fusion kitchen, Kaiseki, which has enticed customers with its ramen bowls, sushi and freshly grilled burgers served with dashi chips, mango and mooli sauce since opening in January.

Lisa Jones, General Manager, Cabot Circus said: “We’re constantly exploring emerging trends and opportunities that really drive customer engagement, so we’re really excited to welcome this line-up of household, local and new-to-Bristol brands. A strong retail offering is the foundation of our placemaking ambitions which we are bringing to life in innovative ways. This was demonstrated last year with headline grabbing pop-ups including the Skatepark in partnership with Red Bull and Bristol-based Canvas and Instagramable moments including the Pride steps created by Upfest. Our customers can expect more high-profile activations in 2023 utilising local and international talent.”
