HUNDREDS of people enjoyed fashion, food and beauty demonstrations at the biggest event in the Westgate Centre’s history yesterday.
Westgate In-spires kicked off yesterday and continues today and tomorrow with panel talks, entertainment and workshops.
Among the stands was Oxfordshire Limited Edition magazine, which is produced by the team behind the Oxford Mail.
Our editor, sales director and promotions staff were on hand to give out copies of the brand new issue, starring Instagram influencer Erica Davies.
In total, 450 people snapped up their copy within just a few hours - and those who had their photo taken will be entered into a prize draw to win a year’s free subscription to the magazine.
They will also be featured in the next issue of Limited Edition, which will be out at the end of October.
Other brands involved in the Westgate event include John Lewis, Benefit, Rituals and Molten Brown.
Today’s events run from 11am in Central Leiden Square.
Oxford Mail managing editor Samantha Harman will be taking part in a panel discussion about body image on the main stage at 5.30pm.
She said: “We are delighted to be taking part in Westgate In-spires, it’s been an incredibly successful event.
“We love being out in the community talking to our readers and getting their feedback. We are really pleased with the response to the magazine, which we relaunched at the end of last year.”
Today’s activities, which are all free to attend, include a zumba session with Buzz Gym on the main catwalk, a nutrition talk with Joe Butler and a showcase of the latest collections from Ted Baker.
On the Demo stage there will be demonstrations from Woodstock Barbers, Charlotte Tilbury and LUSH, Too Faced, MAC and the John Lewis Home Design team.
Meanwhile in the ‘experience PODs’ visitors can take on an Escape Hunt challenge, and see demonstrations from Neal’s Yard Remedies, Cinnamon Kitchen, Boux Avenue and Molton Brown.
The Roof Terrace will host a gin workshop by the team from Victors cocktail bar and a chaat masterclass with Cinnamon Kitchen.
