Iconic shopping, dining and leisure destination, Bullring & Grand Central, will be hosting The Self-Love Sanctuary event with popular influencer, Lou Featherstone AKA Luinluland, on 10th – 11th February.

Knowing that some women in their 40s, 50s and 60s have lost their sense of self with life, family, and work pressures, Bullring & Grand Central will be hosting a free two-day event that aims to make ‘the invisible woman’ feel empowered with a space dedicated to self-love. The Self-Love Sanctuary, located on Level 2 near Selfridges, will be a bold and brave safe space with inspirational mantras to leave those visiting feeling inspired to be their best self.

Fronted by influencer Luinluland, a 50-something British mum who has been travelling across the USA in her vintage bluebird bus spreading the word of the Self-Love Revolution, the event boasts an itinerary packed with styling workshops, silent discos and an inspiring panel discussion between women from all different walks of life.

Lou, who has over 61k followers on Instagram, grew up in the West Midlands and has a bold expressive obsession with self-love that she wants to share with others. During the weekend she will share her personal journey with attendees through tips, advice and words of encouragement.
