Whether glitter beards or 3D brows, get Parklife ready for free courtesy of Manchester Arndale

Getting dressed for Parklife festival means diving head first into a pool of multi-coloured glitter before re-emerging as a sparkling bohemian party animal in cut-off denim shorts and a fanny pack. There are few occasions that call for neon eyebrows, tie-dye hair and glittering foreheads, so why not embrace it?

To help this year’s Parklife revellers do their best Coachella impression at Heaton Park, Manchester Arndale is offering free festival makeovers inside the centre and at Victoria Station this weekend. Did we mention it’s free?
