Most of its stores will be closed on Boxing Day too, although shoppers are urged to check their local stores opening hours.

You can do this by using the retailer’s branch locator tool on its website or via the Lidl Plus app.

Lidl said most stores outside the M25 and Wales will be closed on December 26.

Lidl joins a host of other retailers who have confirmed they will close stores on Boxing Day to give staff a well-earned break.

It common practice for shops across the UK to close on Christmas Day, but not all retailers shut branches on Boxing Day.
