B&M, Home Bargains Reveal Easter 2026 Bank Holiday Hours
The Easter bank holiday weekend arrives with altered retail hours for many shoppers. B&M and Home Bargains have posted their Easter 2026 bank holiday hours, so customers should check before they travel.
Key dates and what to expect
Good Friday falls on April 3, 2026. Saturday is April 4. Easter Sunday is April 5, and Easter Monday is April 6. Most large shops will open on Good Friday and Easter Monday but hours may vary.
National trading rules
UK rules restrict Sunday trading for large shops. Stores over 280 square metres may open for six consecutive hours. Those hours must fall between 10am and 6pm. Large retailers must close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.
Scotland follows different rules. All stores may trade on Easter Sunday there, regardless of size.
Home Bargains
Home Bargains will vary hours by location on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Some shops will open later. Others will close earlier.
Saturday trading remains as usual across most stores on April 4. Scottish outlets will trade normally on Easter Sunday, April 5. All other Home Bargains branches will be closed that day.
Filmogaz.com advises shoppers to use the Home Bargains store locator for precise opening times.
B&M
B&M stores often keep regular hours on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Monday. This is true for many stores in Liverpool and elsewhere. However, hours still differ by branch.
Like Home Bargains, B&M locations in Scotland will be open on Easter Sunday. Other B&M stores will remain shut on Easter Sunday. Shoppers should consult the B&M store locator for specific times.
Shopping tips
