Boxing Day Sales See Subdued Crowds, Lower Spending
Update: 2025-12-26
Description
Boxing Day sales see a quiet start as UK shoppers opt for online deals, leading to a predicted drop in total spending. Retail parks buck the trend with increased visitors, but overall footfall is down. Shoppers notice a more enjoyable atmosphere, with fewer people out bargain hunting and big names keeping stores shut. The subdued sales come after a tough year for wallets, with inflation and costs rising due to tax rises outlined in the budget. Pre-Christmas spending data shows slight upticks, but the online shopping boom has made Boxing Day less of a must-do event.
