Boxing Day sales cancelled: Which shops will be closed on Boxing Day this year?

Boxing Day is a bank holiday across the UK, giving many Britons an extra day off over the Christmas period. Over the years, a tradition has been sparked with shops offering Boxing Day sales for lucky shoppers.
However, the coronavirus pandemic has thrown up much uncertainty about Christmas events – and this includes the Boxing Day sales.
With crowds discouraged, many will be opting to stay at home and potentially shop online this year.
Over Christmas, lockdown rules will be relaxed slightly – with families able to create a Christmas bubble with up to three households for five days.
Between December 23 and December 27, families can come together for the festive period – without having to socially distance or adhere to strict lockdown rules.
