I’m pretty sure Sunday trading laws do actually require businesses to close early on a Sunday.
Yeah I’ve just looked it up;
any shop that is over the size of 3,000 sq ft (somewhat arbitrary size but there you go) may only open on a Sunday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Attempts to remove this restriction have historically been politically blocked
The rest of the time they can do what they want which usually means 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. or just 24 hour
Most supermarkets will be 24-hour except on Sundays when they weirdly close at 4:00 p.m. - if they were legally allowed to be open longer I’m sure they would be.

This is true but we’re talking about holidays, not Sundays.
Personally I think having a day where you can’t do anything except chill is quite good honestly, would rather everything just be shut on Sunday.
