John Lewis Sleepover – Because who hasn’t dreamt of having a sleepover in a luxury department store…?

Let’s face it, how often have you been wandering round a John Lewis, looked at the sumptuously comfortable beds (perhaps even laid down – you know, “just to test”) and wished you could curl up and stay all night?
Well with John Lewis’s new sleepover you can…

In order to provide what John Lewis call the ultimate “try before you buy” experience, a handful of lucky shoppers will be able to stay the night in “The Residence” a £2million in-store apartments. As well as being totally instagram-worthy, luxurious and the home of our dreams, those who are picked get to stay for FREE!

Anyone who enters is put into a ballot and if you win you get to choose your own bedding and table settings as well as being treated to plenty of upmarket beauty products from the bathroom and a wardrobe of clothes in your size! For breakfast you will get brought a hamper in bed where you can snuggle into your John Lewis dressing gown and sip coffee and nibble croissaints to your hearts content (at least until the store opens that is!) We like to think of it as a real-life version of the Sims where you can design to your hearts content. 

On the night you also get your own on-hand concierge for anything you might need or want to buy during the experience and you get sixty minutes of after-hours shopping with the store entirely to yourself (with your own personal shopper of course.) This includes an access-all-areas tour of the store where you will get to peek at those areas not usually open to the public!

As well as the sleepover experience, you can also apply to host your very own dream dinner party for up to ten guests in the Apartment. You will have a feast whipped up by an expert chef and a mixologist will be on hand to craft your favourite cocktails. After dinner you can put a film on the large plasma screen TV, listen to your own music playlist and ingude in a few after-dinner board games.

To apply for the sleepover or meal experience at The Residence, all you need to do is visit the concierge team in the Oxford Street, Cambridge or Liverpool stores over two consecutive weekends (Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 or Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 September). The lucky few will be chosen at random and contacted to confirm the date of their experience. For more information about The Residence go to johnlewis.com.
