John Lewis launches 'Eurovision extravaganza' in Liverpool

Already the city’s key shopping mall Liverpool One has spend much of May gearing up for the wider festivities and now retail giant John Lewis has been getting in on the act.

Its Liverpool One flagship store’s celebrations of all-things Eurovision started this week and will culminate on Sunday (14 May).

Highlights are musician Sophie Ellis-Bextor hosting one of her ‘Kitchen Disco’ parties in the Kitchen Department, while daily musical performances include the Liverpool Rainbow Chorus Choir fundraising for the Big Help Project, supporting Liverpool’s Ukrainian community. There’s also Spin the Wheel prizes, Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘Pillow Talk’ double-decker bus and ‘fizz’ stations, serving complimentary prosecco. Charlotte Tilbury’s Expert Retail Artists will also be on hand to give customers access to the make-up secrets of the red carpet, with a choice of eye, lip and cheek Quick Trick touch-up services.

Jackie Wild, Events and Marketing Coordinator at John Lewis Liverpool said:  “Eurovision fever has already started to sweep across the city and we are ready to welcome the thousands of visitors in-store.”
