When is Black Friday 2018?

Black Friday is traditionally the day following the US holiday of Thanksgiving and this year falls on Friday 23rd November.

It is regarded as the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping period and despite being an American commercial tradition in recent years many UK retailers have started hopping on the trend spurred on by US owned retailers such as ASDA (owned by Walmart) and Amazon.
