ALL Aldi stores in Northumberland will be closed on Boxing Day this year.

The decision means staff in Northumberland will have two full days off over the festive season, with stores also closing on Christmas Day.

Stores will reopen to customers on December 27, 2026.

Aldi stores in Northumberland will also close on New Year’s Day, reopening on Saturday, January 2, 2027.

In the days leading up to Christmas, many stores will extend their opening hours to help shoppers prepare for the festive period.

Rachel Geary, communications director at Aldi UK, said: "Christmas is a special time for our customers, but it is also one of the busiest periods of the year for our teams.

"Our colleagues work incredibly hard to ensure customers can pick up everything they need ahead of the big day. We never take that effort for granted.

"Closing our stores on Boxing Day is one way of saying thank you and giving colleagues a proper chance to rest, switch off, and spend more time with the people closest to them."

Customers are advised to check the Aldi store finder online for the most up-to-date opening times.

Aldi has stores in Hexham and Prudhoe.
