If you’re one of those people who gets up early (or, as it can be, dark and early) to hit Boxing Day sales, then here’s the good news: You’re sleeping in this year.

As Boxing Day falls on a Sunday, large retailers (i.e. stores over 280 square meters) cannot open at 6 a.m. and later in the evening, due to the law. .

Trading hours dictate that department stores can only open six consecutive hours on Sundays, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Here are the scheduled opening hours for the region’s biggest shopping destinations for Boxing Day 2021.

The arenas

The arenas will be open Boxing Day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the center confirmed.

However, not all stores will open. Some have confirmed that they intend to remain closed this year, to give staff an extra day off as a thank you for their hard work this year.

Holland & Barrett is one such retailer that is present in the arenas. The Entertainer will also be closed, just like any other Sunday.

Large central

Next door to the arenas, Grand Central has also given its opening hours for Boxing Day.

It also intends to open at 11 a.m. on Boxing Day and close at 5 p.m.

The strong
