M&S Easter Bank Holiday Weekend Closure as Most Stores to Shut for 24 Hours

Most stores in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will close on Easter Sunday while stores in Scotland stay open, with varying hours across the UK, retailers said.

  • Major retailers including M&S, Next, and Primark will close stores on Easter Sunday, April 5, across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, though Scottish shops remain open.
  • The long four-day weekend necessitates checking specific schedules, as trading hours vary significantly across the country. Retailers have adjusted standard operations to accommodate the bank holiday period.
  • While most large stores remain closed on Easter Sunday, branches will operate on Good Friday, Easter Saturday, and Easter Monday. Scottish branches continue to trade on Easter Sunday unlike counterparts elsewhere.
  • Customers should consult the John Lewis branch finder on its website for precise opening details. Checking these digital tools allows shoppers to confirm if specific branches operate with reduced hours.
  • For those seeking support, the National Gambling Helpline remains available 24/7 at 0808 8020 133 for confidential advice. This service operates continuously throughout the holiday period for anyone concerned about gambling habits.
