This weekend is the early May Bank Holiday, meaning retailer opening times across the UK often change. Luckily, most stores are open on the Bank Holiday itself, however many are operating with slightly reduced hours.

This also includes supermarkets. Shoppers are advised to check their local branch for exact opening hours. Their times may vary by store and location.

Home Bargains

To find your local store's opening times, use Home Bargains' Store Locator. The retailer said: "It's got a full list of opening times for your local store, their facilities and contact details."

However, it seems most of its stores will be open on Monday, with shorter hours from 8am to 6pm.

Opening times over the weekend remain the same, including 8am to 8pm on Saturday and 10:30am to 4:30pm on Sunday.

B&M

B&M stores are open on Bank Holiday Monday, typically operating with standard or slightly reduced hours.

While many stores are open, it is recommended to check the B&M store finder for specific branch hours.

Many stores on B&M's store finder section state they'll be operating normal working hours.

Next also has a store locator on its website for customers to check their local stores' opening hours.

Many locations are open on Monday, operating normal hours, but this may vary by location and store type.

Customers can also enjoy browsing only for the first 30 minutes on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

B&Q

B&Q stores in the UK generally operate normal hours, typically 7am to 8pm during the early May Bank Holiday.

While most stores will be open, it is highly recommended to check your local store's specific hours using the B&Q Store Finder tool.
