Christmas Retail Trading

Permanent Christmas trading hours were introduced in 2014 to benefit local businesses and shoppers by providing long-term certainty.
A copy of the gazettal of the change can be found here. 

Additionally some small additions for this Christmas period have also been approved on top of the permanent hours, the actual opening hours this results in for the coming Christmas period below.

Please note: these are the hours that retailers can be open. 
Retailers are not required to open on these days.
Additionally, those businesses that hold a ‘Small Retail Shop Certificate’ can trade 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
