So, are shops open on bank holidays? Usually, some of them are, but not all of them. Think of it as a spectrum. Big supermarkets say “Yes, but we’re going to bed early.” Little shops say “No, we’re on a mini-vacation.”
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be the one who knows. You don’t need to be a schedule expert. Just spend two minutes checking before you head out. That’s it.
Because a bank holiday is supposed to be relaxing. Staring at a Closed sign while holding a shopping list is the opposite of relaxing. Know the hours, grab your bits, and then go enjoy your long weekend with a happy, full stomach. You’ve earned it.
