‘Be strong, not small should be the goal as women get older’: Grantley Hall to host Yorkshire British Beauty Week event
British Beauty Week returns to Yorkshire next month with a day-long event at North Yorkshire luxury hotel Grantley Hall, hosted by beauty and wellbeing specialist collective This is Yorkshire Beauty.
The event, which takes place on Sunday, October 25, will focus on pioneering health technology, alongside challenging the way we think about ageing, and creating communities to transform fitness and wellbeing.
This year’s theme is IMPACT and will showcase the women, businesses and ideas making a difference across the sector.
Jo Goodall-Thorne, Yorkshire co-founder of groundbreaking women’s health app Luna, will explore the importance of women and girls understanding their own bodies and having access to better information about their health.
Nicola Glennon, CEO of Wellness & Aesthetics Technology, will join This is Yorkshire Beauty co-founder Dr Lubna Khan-Salim to look at the rapidly developing relationship between technology, aesthetics and wellbeing.
Community will also be a key theme, exploring the impact of connection and community on physical and mental wellbeing.
The event will challenge traditional attitudes towards ageing and fitness, exploring why being “strong, not small” should be the goal as women get older. Speakers include Leeds trainer Caroline Asquith who will share practical advice and insights into how women can better look after their bodies throughout different stages of life.
Dr Lubna says: “Impact isn't just about the conversations we have on stage. It’s about what people take away from the day, and how we can use beauty and wellbeing to create genuine connection in our communities.”
Co-founder Victoria Clapham adds: “There is so much innovation and expertise happening outside London, and we wanted British Beauty Week to reflect that.
“Yorkshire has an incredible beauty, health and wellbeing community, and we’re incredibly proud to be waving the flag for the region once again.”
The morning programme will focus on ideas, inspiration and discussion. Guests will enjoy a two-course lunch in the surroundings of Grantley Hall before taking part in an afternoon programme of workshops and masterclasses, including a body confidence session and clean-makeup masterclass.
There will also be opportunities to experience the latest facial and body sculpting technology, while Lexus Leeds will be offering complimentary test drives of its latest EV range.
The organisers say: “Join us for coffee and fruit platters to start your Sunday morning off just right. Registration will be from 10am.
“We then have our first panel talks and discussions, followed by a masterclass on clean beauty dupes you don’t want to miss.
“A gorgeous two-course lunch follows, with time to visit the beauty hall of amazing brands, or take a test drive in the new Lexus range.
“There’s then time to enjoy workshops on body confidence, the latest body sculpting, facial massage and leading LED systems, before we have our keynote talks that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered, ready for your journey home around 4.45pm.
“Each guest will receive a British Beauty Week goodie bag, and we’re supporting our charity partner, Smart Works Yorkshire, with a special raffle with some amazing prizes.”
