It’s part of The Great Dress Up summer series.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 5th May 2024

Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet is preparing for summer with a series of brilliant fashion events – including jumping on the colour analysis craze. 

The viral sensation which helps people to dress in their most flattering colours is now heading to the popular shopping destination. 

Free consultations with expert colourists will tell you your ‘colour season’ and whether you’re warm or cool toned, pointing out the colours that will make your face quite literally light up. 

Then armed with your new-found appreciation for your own favourite colour, you can browse a rail of pre-selected clothing from Pinko, Reiss and many other brands, or head out shopping around the many other brands based at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. 

It’s all part of The Great Dress Up campaign running this spring/summer, which celebrates fun childhood memories of playing dress-up.

People can learn the dos and don’ts of colour at Cheshire Oaks with Kate Harrison and EWA.

Major up-and-coming Manchester neighbourhood to debut Shared Ownership apartments

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson L&Q at Victoria Riverside in Redbank

A brand-new development that’s part of Manchester’s ground-breaking Redbank regeneration is welcoming guests to discover more about the new neighbourhood. 

L&Q at Victoria Riverside, who have just launched a collection of Shared Ownership apartments, will be hosting a special day of tours so that Mancs can find out more about this major new development for the city. 

Once complete, L&Q Victoria Riverside will be home to an 18-storey building with 128 Shared Ownership homes, at the heart of the up-and-coming Redbank neighbourhood. 

Over the next decade, Redbank – just a short walk from Manchester Victoria station – will become a bustling corner of the city home to new schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and bars. 

And all just a stone’s throw from public transport links, Manchester Arndale shopping centre, and the iconic Northern Quarter. 

L&Q at Victoria Riverside marks the first phase of Victoria North, which is the biggest urban regeneration project in the North of England. 

Within the development, residents will have access to an on-site co-working space, podium gardens, gym and concierge service.

Mancs will be able to get a glimpse of everything that’s to come with an exclusive preview day of tours and conversations with the L&Q sales team on 25 October.

The event will welcome customers who have registered interest to chat about their property search, and take tours of the brand new show home. 

Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme that helps first-time buyers afford to get on the property ladder. Through part-buy/part-rent, buyers purchase shares in a Shared Ownership property that would otherwise be unaffordable to them. 

The sales team will be available to provide more information about Shared Ownership on the day.

Find out more about L&Q at Victoria Riverside HERE.

The L&Q at Victoria Riverside event will take place between 11am and 4pm on Saturday 25 October at Dantzic Street, M4 4DN – you can sign up for free tickets HERE.

And you can find out more about L&Q Shared Ownership via Instagram HERE.
