A gentle reminder as Christmas approaches: the shops are only closed for one day – Christmas Day.
There’s no need to overbuy everything in sight or clear the shelves like we’re preparing for a month-long siege. Supermarkets, local shops and services will be back open again on Boxing Day, and supplies aren’t going anywhere.
For Kempsey residents, nearby shops that normally reopen on Boxing Day include:
- Tesco (Pershore & St John’s)
- Sainsbury’s (St John’s, Worcester)
- Aldi (Pershore & Worcester)
- Lidl (Worcester)
- Waitrose (Malvern & Worcester)
- Local convenience stores and petrol stations in and around Kempsey
Opening hours may be reduced, but essentials will be available – and the shelves will be restocked.
If history tells us anything, it’s that Kempsey survives Christmas every year – even without a last-minute dash for bread, milk, and twelve emergency tins of beans.
So by all means plan ahead, support local shops where you can, and grab what you need – just without the stress. Everything will still be there on Boxing Day.
Wishing everyone a calm, happy run-up to Christmas 🎄
