If your local pharmacy is now closed and you are desperate I'd recommend calling your local A&E department/minor injuries unit ASAP and speak to them there. They may just say come down and speak to a nurse and dispense it to you. They'd rather you ring them than leave it. I had to get it a while back but I got it from Boots over the counter after a condom split (which I don't normally use because I'm on the pill, but I was taking antibiotics at the time).
Just don't forget to take the second pill!

Supermarkets are your best bet for out of hours pharmacists. You can get them over the counter but if you see a doc you can have them prescribed so it's cheaper. As a last straw hospitals have pharmacies that are open (if only for a limited time) during weekends. Obviously you shouldn't be taking these pills all the time.
PS the dangers of these pills are far less than the dangers of pregnancy

Some people are so mean - condoms do split! And for me it's usually on a saturday so the pharmacies would be closed on Sunday, don't worry though because you just need to take it 72 hours after said sex (you do mean the emergency one don't you?) If Boots is open then go there because it's free, if not it's like £25, but I'm sure you'll have found one by now?

Please ignore the highly judgemental people who have posted to this question. Its now Christmas day, so I hope you found the morning after pill.
The morning after pill has to be taken within 3 days (72 hours) of unprotected sex. If you didn't make it in time, all is not lost. you can still have a coil fitted up to 5 days post unprotected sex - your GP, A+E department or GUM clinic will be able to advise.
Everyone makes mistakes (even doctors - I am one!!) - but the consequences of not doing something sbout this are far worse than the embarressement of going to the pharmacy/GP/A+E - so please do it and make it a new years resolution to use condoms next time!!!
Best wishes.

Why do you need one on Christmas Eve? You must have plans for yourself. I would like to point out that "morning After" pills have been known to kill the user. you may wish to reconsider and maybe instead use protection. just my opinion.
p.s. you aren't just trying to offend people are you?

Yes, you should be able to find a dispensing chemist open somewhere local. Be more carefull in future. Merry christmas.

Maybe you can, maybe you can't. The only answer really is to stop sleeping around. If you have a baby I hope you can afford it, I'm sick of paying for other people's children.
