Here’s the good news: Morrisons does open on Boxing Day. They aren’t total Grinches. However, they don’t just swing the doors wide like it’s a normal Tuesday.
Most Morrisons stores will be open, but with significantly reduced hours. Think of it as a lazy, post-Christmas lie-in for the supermarket itself.
Typically, you’ll see doors unlock around 9:00 AM and shut up shop by 6:00 PM. But—and this is a big, sparkly “but”—you must check your local store because times can vary wildly.
Why The Weird Hours?
Boxing Day is a bank holiday in the UK, which means staff get a bit of a lie-in too. Plus, it’s technically still a holiday, so nobody wants to be stacking shelves at midnight.
Morrisons likes to give their team a chance to see their own families, eat leftover pigs in blankets, and watch the Queen’s Speech reruns. Fair play to them, honestly.
So, if you roll up at 7:00 AM expecting a full shop, you’ll be staring at a locked door and a very smug-looking pigeon. Don’t be that person.
