Stephensons 150th Anniversary Celebrations

150 Years of Stephensons


On Monday 17th September 2018, Stephensons returned to the location of their original store in Manchester's Barton Arcade to celebrate 150 years in business. The site is now occupied by the wonderful Lunya Catalonian restaurant, who graciously gave up their space and their time to help with what proved to be a terrific evening of celebrations.

We were delighted to welcome hundreds of our local suppliers, customers, and colleagues to revel in the festivities with us. From the red carpet entrance, to the Stephensons history decorating the walls, the evening felt truly special and we were proud to share it with so many important people who've helped make Stephensons what it is today.

We wanted to share with you some of the pictures and memories from a lovely evening, and to say a massive thank you to all that attended and helped us celebrate 150 years in style!
