May Bank Holiday Supermarket Opening Hours

The early May Bank Holiday will come as a welcome relief for many who have an extra day off this weekend.

That means banks, schools, government offices, and some businesses will be closed on Monday across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

However, many supermarkets will also be operating with reduced opening hours.
