There are no general restrictions on shops opening on Boxing Day, or indeed any other Bank Holiday except Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.

The law allows all retail shops to open on a Sunday or a Bank Holiday (except the two above). The law does restricts the hours that larger shops may open on a Sunday (but not Bank Holidays). Larger shops are shops whose internal retail area exceeds 280 square meters.

The law also allows shops with an internal retail area less than 280 square meters to open at any time on a Sunday.

Larger shops are only allowed to open for up to 6 hours on a Sunday between the hours of 10am and 6pm.

Larger shops may not open at all on Easter Sunday or Christmas Day, if it falls on a Sunday.
