Primark has opened its first standalone Primark Home store in Great Britain, packed full of interiors and lifestyle bits at bargain prices.
The much-loved affordable retailer will throw open the doors to Primark Home at Trafford Palazzo this Friday, selling everything from bathroom bits and kitchenware, to soft furnishings, bedroom decor and LOADS of pumpkins
Whether you’re building a fun and feminine bedroom with fluffy pillows and slogan cushions, or a sleek living space with a boucle storage bench and hanging plants.
There are plenty of items for gifting and little treats too, like hot water bottles, candles and scented diffusers.
Autumn has hit Primark Home hard – expect pumpkin cushions, pumpkin and maple scented candles, garlands made of pale frosted leaves, burnt orange throw cushions and even ceramic vases with 3D pumpkins. It’s all known as the ‘harvest range’.

Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most historic buildings is set to host a huge home show full of vintage finds next month.
The Vintage Home Show is taking over Victoria Baths for their second event of the year.
For anyone looking to add a retro touch to their homes, this is a chance to feast your eyes on a carefully-curated collection of furniture, homeware, ceramics, artworks, vinyl records, and more stocked by more than 60 knowledgeable sellers in a welcoming atmosphere amid the empty Grade II-listed swimming pool.
Planning to renovate in a vintage style? Or looking for one missing piece of the puzzle? This event can help you track down that something special for your home.
From one-off minimalist pieces, to mass-market retro and kitsch classics, with prices for items starting from as little as £1, you’ll have the chance to shop the collections of dozens of quality independent dealers from right around the UK, all under one historic roof.
Browse a selection of vibrant stalls featuring pieces spanning from the mid-century decades to the bold brightness of the 1990s, and everything in between.
No matter what your budget, you’ll find that gorgeous something to suit your impeccable taste.
Once you’ve finished shopping everything you need to transform your home, you can stop off at Victoria Baths’ on-site cafe to treat yourself to a selection of cakes, savouries, pastries, and soup, as well as both hot and cold drinks.

The Vintage Home Fair will take over Victoria Baths on Sunday 5 October, kicking off from 10:30am for keen shoppers after ‘Early Bird’ entry, while ‘Standard Entry’ starts at 11am and runs through the day until 3:30pm.
Due to popularity, the event will be operating a timed ticket entry process, that way organisers can manage the numbers of visitors in the building at any one time to allow everyone a chance to see everything.

Tickets are now on sale, priced anywhere from £2 to £6 depending on the time you go, so you simply need to arrive anytime within your allocated hour and stay as long as you wish.
