What we’re asking
Simply let us know if you'll be open and trading on the day. That’s it.
|
And if a Sunday isn’t a day you’d normally open — please think about opening just for this one, if your scheduling and your costs allow it. It really is worth considering:
|
- Cafés and eateries — there will be people in town all day, and all of them will want feeding at some point.
- Retail shops — these are visitors out for a Christmas day in town. Why miss the chance of them buying their presents from you?
|
The more businesses that are open, the better the day is for every single visitor — and the more likely they are to come back to you in the weeks before Christmas.

Free promotion on our socials
Tell us you’re open and we’ll shout about your business to our Mansfield NOW followers. It costs you nothing.
|
|
And if you’ve got something Christmas-related you’d like us to include, even better. It could be anything: a new product, a seasonal menu, a Christmas window display, a special offer — anything festive you want people to know about.
