Primark Newcastle are opening a series of exciting pop-up shops, to celebrate female small business owners in recognition of International Women’s Day.

A group of female small business owners will be opening their own pop-up shops in a dedicated space in Newcastle’s Primark store on Northumberland Street, offering items such as beauty products, accessories and jewellery.

The month-long initiative started yesterday (Thursday, March 7) and will run until Sunday, April 7, with two local businesses being hosted each weekend from Thursday to Sunday for the next five weeks. 

The first female-led businesses to open a pop-up shop at Newcastle’s Primark are Tian’s Gifts and Peaches & Cream.

Tian’s Gifts sells unique handmade and bespoke oriental gifts that embrace Chinese culture, while Peaches & Cream sells make-up and has gained a dedicated following via TikTok.

The founder of Tian’s Gifts, Tian said: I’m very grateful to receive such a big welcome from the Newcastle community, after I moved to the UK just a few years ago. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to launch my first business – which I’ve started from scratch using my own savings and business intuition. 

“This is a skill that I believe all women, not just female entrepreneurs, can absolutely adopt to create more opportunities for themselves. I’m excited to introduce my products to more people in Newcastle, learning also from Primark to see first-hand what they’ve done and replicate it to help drive my own success.”

The dedicated space for the pop-up shops will be located on the second floor of Newcastle’s Primark.
