The early May Bank Holiday 2026 is tomorrow, and UK retailer opening hours may vary
This weekend marks the early May Bank Holiday, so retailers across the UK may change their opening hours. Fortunately, the majority of shops remain open on the Bank Holiday itself, though many are running on slightly reduced schedules.
This applies to supermarkets as well. Shoppers are encouraged to check their nearest branch for precise opening times, as hours may vary by store and location.
Home Bargains
To find your nearest store’s opening times, make use of Home Bargains’ Store Locator. The retailer stated: “It’s got a full list of opening times for your local store, their facilities and contact details.”
Nevertheless, it appears the majority of its branches will be open on Monday, operating shorter hours from 8am to 6pm.
Weekend opening times remain unchanged: stores are open from 8am to 8pm on Saturday and 10:30am to 4:30pm on Sunday.
B&M
B&M branches are open on Bank Holiday Monday, generally running on standard or marginally reduced hours.
While most stores are open, customers are advised to consult the B&M store finder for their specific branch’s hours.
A number of stores listed on B&M’s store finder indicate they will be operating during normal trading hours.
Next
Next also provides a store locator on its website, allowing customers to verify their local store’s opening hours.
Numerous locations are open on Monday with normal trading hours, though this may vary by branch and store type.
Customers are also welcome to browse only for the first 30 minutes on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
B&Q
B&Q outlets across the UK typically maintain standard opening times, usually 7am to 8pm throughout the early May Bank Holiday.
While most branches will be trading, it is strongly advised to verify your nearest store’s specific opening hours via the B&Q Store Finder tool.
