4. Shop the Boxing Day sales
Did Santa not quite deliver the goods this year? Head into Sheffield city centre or over to Meadowhall to make the most of the Boxing Day sales. Meadowhall will be open from 9am – 6pm, but check individual stores’ opening times before visiting to avoid disappointment. Photo: Dean Atkins
