The Derbion shopping centre will be operating Sunday opening hours, from 10.30am - 4.30pm.

The following shops are believed to be opening their doors inside the Derbion this morning:

• Boots

• Build-A-Bear

• H&M

• Hugo Boss

• JD Sports

• Lush

• New Look

• Pandora

• River Island

• Sports Direct

• Tommy Hilfiger

Primark outside in the Corn Market will also be open 10.30am - 4.30pm as well.

Big names such as Next and M&S, however, have chosen to stay closed on Boxing Day to give their staff members an extra day off work for the festive season.
