Supermarket opening times for Boxing Day 2021: When will Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco and Aldi be open?


The major supermarkets have made changes to their operating hours for Boxing Day this year.
As much as we try to be organised over Christmas, it is inevitable that something will be forgotten, whether that is milk for the post dinner coffee or general supplies for the ‘normal’ days in between family visits an get togethers.
During the festive period stores’ operating hours differ from the usual. It’s always good to be up to date before leaving the house, so we have a breakdown of all the major supermarket’s opening hours to help you.
Aldi will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Between December 27th, to December 30th the stores will open from 8am to 8pm.
New Year’s Eve will operate from 8am, before closing its doors from 6pm until 2nd January.
Aldi warns customers that some stores’ opening times may vary by location, so it is best to double check the signs at your local store.

On New Year’s Eve larger stores will be opening 7am to 7pm. However, the Sainsbury’s convenience stores will be open until 9pm.
