BOXING DAY is usually one of the best times of the year to hit the high street, with numerous retailers offering mega sales after the Christmas rush. Will shops be open on Boxing Day this year? Here's a full guide of the opening hours you need to know.

Boxing Day is synonymous with bustling high streets and 'SALE' signs in shop windows. But for a second year in a row, December 26 will seem very different compared to usual. You might struggle to find your favourite stores open this Boxing Day. However, some shops will be open to the public, including Currys PC World, Tesco, and Asda.

Boxing Day is usually one of the busiest days of the year for retailers.

It's the first chance retailers get to get rid of excess stock that wasn't sold in the build-up to Christmas.

Shoppers aim to take full advantage of the mega sales, saving up to 50 percent on clothes, foods, gifts, and household appliances.

But a lot of supermarkets and high street stores have already revealed their intentions to remain closed on Boxing Day this year, to give their staff a chance to rest after another difficult 12 months.

Before heading to your favourite shop this Boxing Day, it's a good idea to check online to see whether your local store is open.
