A huge cinema event is returning to Lush's city centre store next month.
High street retailer Lush is known and loved for its extensive array of cruelty free beauty and lifestyle products, with its Church Street store here in Liverpool the biggest in the world. For the second time, the popular brand is teaming up with Cinema in the City, presented by FACT, to offer locals and tourists alike a unique cinema experience.

Its own kitchen and bar is situated a stone's throw away from China Town, where lunch and evening service is available for vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians and meat eaters.
The weekend at Lush will see a selection of shorts from the next generation of filmmakers with with Hav, directed by Eleanor Szydlowska; Three Bull-Mastiffs In A Corner Kitchen, directed by Paul Chambers; and Swallow Your Dreams, directed by Dan Sloan appearing on the big screen before the feature films.
