Lidl Boxing Day Opening Hours 2026

Lidl’s Boxing Day 2025 hours depended on the nation. Its own opening-times page listed stores inside the M25 at 10am to 6pm, Scotland at 11am to 5pm, and England outside the M25 and Wales as closed. Lidl had not published 2026 Christmas hours when this page was checked on 22 October 2026.

Source: Lidl Christmas Opening Times 2025, captured 20 Dec 2025. The page told shoppers to check their local store for the most accurate times. It covered England, Wales and Scotland only and gave no hours for Northern Ireland. Christmas Day was listed as closed in all three nations.

One of three stores checked did not match the table. Lidl’s store data captured on 24 December 2025 listed Uxbridge High Street at 9am to 7pm, not 10am to 6pm:

So check your own branch in the Lidl store finder rather than relying on the regional rule.
