The Next Boxing Day sale has become one of the most popular days for shoppers in the Christmas calendar – so when will stores be open in Suffolk and north Essex?
Boxing Day is traditionally one of the UK's busiest shopping days - but this year, in the wake of Black Friday, many stores have already launched their sales ahead of the big day.
The Next sale has always been a huge event for bargain-hunters hoping to pick up some post-Christmas discounts.
The following Next stores will be open from 6am to 6pm for the Boxing Day sale.
In Suffolk:
- Suffolk Retail Park, Ipswich
- Martlesham, Ipswich
- Bury St Edmunds
- Lowestoft
In north Essex:
- High Street, Colchester
- Tollgate Centre, Colchester
- Chelmer Village Retail Park, Chelmsford
- Clacton Shopping Village
Meanwhile, the High Chelmer store in Chelmsford is opening later than most Next stores on Boxing Day - with 10.30am to 4.30pm opening times.
The Next Boxing Day sales famously see long queues building up even before the 6am start time. The chain store regularly cuts many prices by around 50% during its sales, covering fashions and homewares.
