Hawley Garden Centre will again open on Easter Sunday


One centre that will be open on Easter Sunday is Hawley Garden Centre in Dartford, which has successfully opened its outside sales area every year since the Sunday Trading Laws came into place.

Kim Foster from Hawley told GTN Xtra: ”We’re the only place for miles around that is open. All the staff come in as if it’s a normal working day.

"We don’t open the inside shop or our coffee shop. We move as many relevant products outside for sale in our covered sales area, even some clothing.

"For customers there’s a barbeque, Easter treasure hunt and the chance to win a Mercedes Benz SLK ride-on worth £300.

"If the weather is good we’ll have another bumper Easter Sunday.”
