Shopping

 

In the town centres shops generally open at 9am, and close at 5.30. The larger stores also open on Sundays from 10am until 4pm. Large out-of-town shopping centres are on the increase, and these often open for longer hours on weekdays – often until 10pm. Sunday opening is still restricted to six hours however. The large shopping centres are the best place for cheaper prices, but you will miss all the interesting, friendly, unusual, and bizarre shops that you find in the average British high street.
