centres","description":"All the opening hours for the region's major shopping centres in case you're planning a trip to the sales over New Year","articleBody":"Many of our region's shopping centres might be shutting up shop early on New Year's Eve in order for their hardworking staff to get home and celebrate the start of 2025 with their loved ones. But New Year's Day might be a good time to pick up a bargain or two in the January sales. This year, New Year's Eve falls on a Tuesday. While New Year's Day will also see some shorter opening hours due to it being a bank holiday - while other centres are planning to close completely. It's worth mentioning at this point that it's always worth double-checking with individual shops before you head out, if there's something in particularly you're hoping to grab. Some will abide by their own opening hours, rather than those of the centre they're located in. Read more: All the major attractions that closed in Birmingham in 2024 We have taken a look at all the opening hours for the region's major shopping centres including the Bullring , Grand Central , Merry Hill , The Fort and more. Here's the opening hours from Saturday, December 28, through to Tuesday, January 2.

centres\",\"description\":\"All the opening hours for the region's major shopping centres in case you're planning a trip to the sales over New Year\",\"articleBody\":\"Many of our region's shopping centres might be shutting up shop early on New Year's Eve in order for their hardworking staff to get home and celebrate the start of 2025 with their loved ones. But New Year's Day might be a good time to pick up a bargain or two in the January sales. This year, New Year's Eve falls on a Tuesday. While New Year's Day will also see some shorter opening hours due to it being a bank holiday - while other centres are planning to close completely. It's worth mentioning at this point that it's always worth double-checking with individual shops before you head out, if there's something in particularly you're hoping to grab. Some will abide by their own opening hours, rather than those of the centre they're located in. Read more: All the major attractions that closed in Birmingham in 2024 We have taken a look at all the opening hours for the region's major shopping centres including the Bullring , Grand Central , Merry Hill , The Fort and more. Here's the opening hours from Saturday, December 28, through to Tuesday, January 2.
