When Are the January Sales?
Post-Christmas clearance — the UK's biggest fashion and homeware reductions of the year, from Boxing Day through January.
January Sales start 26 December
Typically from Boxing Day (26 December) through January.
When are the january sales in the UK?
The UK January sales begin on Boxing Day (26 December) and run through January, as retailers clear winter and post-Christmas stock. They're traditionally the strongest sales of the year for fashion, footwear and homeware.
Discounts usually deepen as January goes on while shops clear remaining stock — but the best sizes and bestsellers sell out early. The trade-off is simple: shop early (from Boxing Day) for the widest selection, or wait into late January for the biggest reductions on what's left.

Start on Boxing Day
Most January sales open online on Boxing Day — the earliest window has the fullest size and colour ranges.
Reductions deepen later
Prices often drop further through mid-to-late January as stock clears, so patience can pay on non-urgent buys.
Homeware & furniture shine
January is a classic time for furniture, bedding and homeware as retailers launch new-year ranges.
January Sales FAQs
When do the January sales start in the UK?
UK January sales typically begin on Boxing Day (26 December) and run through January. Many retailers open online on Boxing Day itself, with reductions deepening as the month goes on.
Are the January sales better than Boxing Day?
They're part of the same event — the Boxing Day sales kick off the January sales. Shopping from 26 December gives the best selection; later in January often brings deeper discounts on remaining stock.
What's best to buy in the January sales?
Fashion, footwear, homeware and furniture are the strongest categories. It's also a good time for fitness equipment and gym-related buys as new-year ranges launch.
