Many supermarkets across the country will be closing their doors to the public on Boxing Day this year.
But, what about the ones that are set to remain open?
Since the pandemic last year, multiple major supermarkets - including Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi and Sainsbury's - have made the decision to stay closed the day after Christmas.
The decision was made so that staff members could spend extra time with loved ones during the holidays following an incredibly busy year.
While most supermarkets have once again made the same decision, there will be a few who will be choosing to reopen on December 26 this year.
So, if you find yourself needing to stock up any household essentials after Christmas, here is a full list of supermarkets who will be open this Boxing Day.
