Trafford Centre bosses have confirmed their official Christmas opening and closing times in what is expected to be a hectic festive run-in for the shopping mall this year. The centre will open for extended hours across Christmas and New Year - including a week of late night closing for shoppers.
Bosses at the Trafford Centre say their extended hours are: "to ensure customers are able to enjoy their Christmas shopping and festive celebrations around their busy schedules." The centre will be closed on Christmas Day, but will reopen for the Boxing Day sales early on December 26.
The week before Christmas will see the mall open an hour earlier than normal at 9am, and stay open an hour later, until 11pm. This will run from Monday December 19 to Friday December 23 - but there's an important update for those planning to leave things last minute and shop on Christmas Eve.
