Primark launches UK’s first Home store at Trafford Palazzo
Set over two floors and nearly 12,000 sq ft, the store offers a treasure trove of interiors inspiration, whether you’re on the hunt for plush bedding, cosy throws, decorative touches or must-have storage solutions. There’s also a mezzanine floor with Primark’s popular travel offering, stocked with everything you need for your next getaway – from stylish luggage to packing cubes and travel-friendly accessories.
Primark has opened its first standalone Home store in Great Britain at Manchester’s Trafford Palazzo, spanning nearly 12,000 sq ft over two floors.
The store offers bedding, décor, storage and a mezzanine travel section.
The launch featured live entertainment and voucher giveaways, while Trafford Palazzo and Market Street stores also received upgrades, marking Primark’s lifestyle push.
Shoppers queuing up to be the first through the doors this morning were greeted by a live DJ, bringing the party atmosphere, and were among the first to try out the new shopping experience. The retailer’s existing Trafford Palazzo store has also had a makeover, with an expanded womenswear offering, upgraded fixtures across the Health & Beauty department and a brand-new Nails beauty studio.
To mark the opening, Primark is also giving six lucky Manchester shoppers the chance to win £100 shopping vouchers to spend in the new Primark Home store. The vouchers will be hidden across the city with clues revealed on the @primark.home Instagram from 9:30am today. The first eagle-eyed fans to find them can put their prize straight towards their Primark Home must-haves.
Its flagship Manchester Market Street store is also set to unveil a fresh new look next month, including a new performance wear area, a makeover of its RAWR beauty studio and a pre-loved section.
Ceara Doyle, Store Manager at Primark Trafford Palazzo said: “The buzz and excitement around this new opening has been incredible and finally getting to welcome our first customers through the door this morning was a real moment to remember. That amazing moment was only possible because of our brilliant team who have been working behind the scenes to bring the store to life – from fitting out the space, right down to the final cushion fluffs this morning. The new store truly is a dream for interiors fans, and we can’t wait for people across Greater Manchester to come and explore the extensive range, be inspired by the great style on offer, and find quality, affordable pieces to treasure in their homes, now and for years to come.”
Leandra Dwyer, Asset Manager at Peel Retail & Leisure said: “Trafford Palazzo is fast establishing itself as the UK’s leading destination for new flagship retail and leisure concepts. The launch of Great Britain’s first standalone Primark Home store at Trafford Palazzo is a fantastic example of how Peel Retail & Leisure partners with major brands to create vibrant spaces where retail and leisure thrive and where consumers want to be. We are looking forward to seeing the progression of this exciting new store evolve.”
The new opening comes as Primark’s home collection continues to thrive, with warm harvest themed decor, key icons of foxes and hedgehogs, autumnal florals and soft neutral layering set to be key trends this autumn / winter, as well as a new elevated feel for Halloween.
Alongside this, Primark has all the essentials students need to decorate their rooms as they head back to uni for the new year. Meanwhile, customers seeking a touch of luxury can also find the Primark Edit in store, a superior-quality collection, which features luxurious 500-thread count bedding for ultimate comfort, exceptionally plush towels that redefine softness, rich, intense home fragrances, and refined, lightweight ceramic tableware.
Primark’s second Trafford Palazzo store complements existing stores across Greater Manchester and follows the successful debut of the standalone Primark Home concept in Belfast earlier this year.

The package establishes a modern framework for both sides, enabling frictionless access to a market of 460 million consumers in key sectors, delivering economic benefits to both parties.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Swiss President Guy Parmelin yesterday signed a broad package of agreements aimed at deepening and expanding EU-Switzerland ties.
By aligning standards and rules in closely integrated areas, it will provide legal certainty, simplify trade in goods like medical devices and food products, and ease cross-border supply for businesses on both sides.
By aligning standards and rules in closely integrated areas, it will provide legal certainty, simplify trade in goods like medical devices and food products, and ease cross-border supply for businesses on both sides of the border.
Additionally, it will ensure more consistent rules for individuals who live, work or study across the EU-Swiss border. Switzerland will contribute to the development of legislation in the areas covered by the package and will have the opportunity to influence these rules as they are being designed.
“By modernising and deepening our ties across key sectors, from trade and transport to health and energy—we are strengthening legal certainty, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities for our citizens and businesses,” von der Leyen said in a release from the Commission.
The package includes updates to four already existing agreements, which already give Switzerland access to the EU internal market, regarding air transport, land transport, the free movement of persons and mutual recognition of conformity assessment.
New agreements on food safety, electricity, health and Switzerland’s participation in the EU Agency for the Space Programme were signed. A new agreement introduced a permanent and fair financial contribution by Switzerland to economic and social cohesion within the EU.
Apart from a protocol on parliamentary cooperation, the package includes also a joint declaration on the establishment of a high-level dialogue on the broad bilateral package.
