Is B&Q open on the late May bank holiday?
The three-day weekend gives Brits the perfect chance to complete some DIY projects around the house or in the garden.
However, some stores across the UK have altered opening times on August 26.
Shoppers hoping to bag a B&Q buy or two are in luck as stores across the UK open for usual business hours on the August bank holiday.
It is important to note that opening hours often differ from one branch to another, depending on where you are located.
B&Q will open at 7am or 8am, depending on your local branch, and close at 8pm on Monday, August 29.
To see the opening hours of your nearest store, visit the B&Q store locator.
Shoppers can also phone ahead to make sure.
Are other shops closed during the late May bank holiday?
To provide staff with a bit of extra time to spend with their families and some well earned time off, many retailers adjust working times over pubic holidays.
So people looking to plan a shopping trip over the long weekend should be sure to check when their favourite stores are open.
Despite operating hours changing over the bank holiday, you are still able to shop online as usual.
However, delivery times may vary.
The opening times of stores generally differ depending on the location and size of the store.
Public transport timings also change on bank holidays, so ensure you check the timetables to avoid any travel troubles.
