Where Is The New Disney Store In Manchester?
The new store is inside Selfridges Manchester Trafford, which sits within the Trafford Centre. If you've been to the Trafford Centre before you'll know it as one of the North West's biggest shopping destinations. This isn't a standalone shop, it's a dedicated Disney space within the Selfridges store there. We first covered this store when it was announced, and it's now moved from "coming soon" to open for business as of Monday 14th September 2026.
What's Inside The Disney Store At Selfridges Manchester Trafford?
Inside, you'll find a curated range of official Disney, Pixar, MARVEL and Star Wars products, including apparel, accessories, stationery, plush, collectibles and dress-up collections based on some of Disney's best known stories and characters.
Manchester shoppers also get first access to a few ranges before they land online or at any other Disney Store location in the UK. That includes the Pastel Ghost collection, which covers a shoulder plush, mug, cushion, throw, T-shirt, ghost and pumpkin bag charms, a crossbody bag, and pink pumpkin and cute ghost handbags. There's also an early look at the upcoming Mickey Mouse Christmas range, including a plaid plush, festive tableware and mugs, a throw, a mini figurine and a Fair Isle handbag.
Fans of the Selfridges Plush Collection will want to know that the yellow Winnie the Pooh plush is back too, after selling out during its previous release. If you missed it last time, this is your second chance.
"We're delighted to be bringing Disney Store back to Manchester with a brand-new space at Selfridges Manchester Trafford, which is now open. The store has been designed as a destination for fans of all ages, bringing together products and collections from Disney, Pixar, MARVEL and Star Wars under one roof."
