Barras to open for extra day on Friday with Still Game star Gavin Mitchell making Christmas Eve appearance

The Barras have announced they'll open up for an extra day this Christmas weekend – and confirmed that one popular Still Game star would be putting in a special appearance on Christmas Eve.

The market team confirmed they will be opening for a one-off extra day on Friday to help festive shoppers get their last-minute gifts.

Posting on their official Instagram, the trading team wrote: "To accommodate for Christmas falling over the weekend, we will be doing a one-off Friday opening this weekend. Come support our traders 10am til 4pm."

And Boaby the Barman himself, actor Gavin Mitchell, will be joining traders at the iconic east end site as part of their midnight opening event on Christmas Eve.

The market will then open again on Saturday, December 31 from 10 am until 4 pm.
