Restrictions on opening times on Sundays are confined to large shops (defined as those having an internal sales area of over 280 square metres).

These shops must be registered with the council for trading on a Sunday, and specify the six hours of trading on a Sunday which must be between the hours of 10.00am to 6.00pm.

Smaller shops may trade freely on a Sunday - farm shops, off licences, motor supplies and accessories, registered pharmacies or medical supply outlets not open for retail sale, any shops in airports or train stations, petrol filling stations and motorway service stations and jewish traders.

If you have a complaint to make about a shop that you think is breaching the above legislation please contact us.
