Shops Open on Easter Sunday!

skiddy2k

Just found out that Halfords is open today, yes, Easter Sunday, from 10-5!


This is a bit suprising considering everyone else in closed!

Hope this helps,

Yeah I thought no large store could open on Easter Sunday due to religious interference...

I wonder if Halfords sells easter eggs?

I remember getting a question in Trivial pursuit (was about 10 years ago) and it said waht is the ONLY day of the year that no shop is allowed to open - answer: Easter Sunday!

Some people really are mad, surely you (anybody, not aimed at the OP!) can wait a day to go to Halfords - lol

depends on the size of the shop

Here in Scotland there are loads open, all the supermarkets for sure. Must have different rules.

A lot of the supermarket petrol stations are open because they are classed as a separate shop. So if you are desperate for bread and milk...

I can't believe the terror that seems to overcome some people these days when the prospect of a whole day without a visit to the new god Tesco is mentioned! I speak from personal experience when i suggested doing something yesterday and was told "We can't - we have to shop everything is closed tomorrow!" the fact that we have a freezer full of food and are invited to the in-laws today means nothing apparantly.

DTI Site has this:

Under the Sunday Trading Act 1994 the limits on shop opening hours are:

• Small shops (under 280 sq m/3,000 sq ft) - no restrictions on opening

• Large shops (over 280 sq m/3,000 sq ft)

Monday to Saturday - no restrictions
Sunday - Opening for 6 continual hours only, between 10am and 6pm
Easter Sunday - closed
