'Making dreams reality' - 63 pics as Disney announces 2 new store openings in Manchester this autumn

Disney Store has announced it will open two new locations inside Selfridges Manchester this autumn, as part of a nationwide collaboration with the retailer.

The first store will open at Selfridges Manchester Trafford Centre on Monday 29 September, followed by a second at Selfridges Manchester Exchange on 13 October. The pop-ups will offer a selection of exclusive Disney Parks merchandise, available on the UK high street for a limited time.

The Manchester stores follow the launch of a Disney Store in Selfridges London, which opened yesterday (25 September). The Oxford Street opening featured a key ceremony led by TV personality Binky Felstead and her son Wilder. Additional locations are also planned, including Birmingham Bullring on 13 October.

The Selfridges stores will stock a curated range of items typically only found at Disney Parks around the world — including Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and Tokyo Disney Resort. Shoppers can expect limited-edition pins, collectibles, plush toys, ornaments, and themed bags, including designs from Loungefly.

The initiative is part of ‘A Most Magical Christmas’, a broader seasonal partnership between Disney and Selfridges, set to launch on 6 November. The campaign will include themed store windows, more than 60 brand collaborations, and seasonal experiences aimed at attracting visitors in the lead-up to the holidays.

Vicky Woods, Director of Disney Store EMEA, said: “At Disney Store we are proud to bring authentic treasures created by the very storytellers who make Disney dreams a reality. We can’t wait to welcome Manchester guests into Selfridges to discover magical gifts, festive keepsakes and collector’s items – making this Christmas one to remember.”

The Manchester locations will be the only official outlets in the Northwest offering Disney Parks merchandise this holiday season.
