UK Retailers Set Shorter Monday Hours for Early May Bank Holiday

Store times vary by branch and region with most shopping centres open.

Overview

  • Major supermarket chains, which posted bank holiday timetables on Friday and Saturday, will run reduced hours on Monday, May 4 at many large branches.
  • Tesco lists 8am to 6pm for most superstores, Sainsbury’s and Lidl give typical 8am to 8pm, and Morrisons sets 7am to 8pm, with smaller convenience formats keeping usual times.
  • Asda says 24-hour stores trade as normal on the holiday, and other branches use shorter hours that differ by location.
  • High street chains including Primark, Home Bargains, B&M and Dunelm open on Monday with many sites in England and Wales closing around 6pm, while some Scottish branches keep standard hours.
  • Regional shopping centres publish their own hours, such as Birmingham’s Bullring at 10am to 7pm on Monday, and many note that restaurants and cinemas inside use different timetables so customers should check store locators for local details.
