SCREWFIX is one of the most popular places on the high street for all things DIY.
As shops across the country begin adjusting their hours for the Easter bank holiday, Screwfix has decided to buck the trend.
Is Screwfix open over the August bank holiday?
Screwfix has over 900 stores in the UK, after a massive expansion plan saw them open 40 new locations in 2024.
The DIY shop offers a big range of trade tools and goods.
Their stores are usually open seven days a week from 6am to 8pm on weekdays and from 7am to 6pm on Saturdays.
Screwfix is only open from 9am until 4pm on Sundays, though.
However, shoppers looking for all things DIY have nothing to fear over the Easter 2025 weekend.
Screwfix are retaining all of their regular opening hours during the festive period.
To find your nearest store and its opening hours, the best bet is to use Screwfix’s store locator.
If your preferred location is not open for any reason, you can always shop online via the Screwfix website — 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Are shops closed over the August bank holiday?
Screwfix, like Wetherspoons, is bucking the trend of reducing working hours over the bank holiday weekend.
Some newspapers, including The Financial Times, will not publish on Good Friday.
Supermarkets including Aldi and M&S will close on Easter Sunday in order to give their staff some time off.
A much quieter high street could make Screwfix even busier, so make sure you get there in time before the crowds snap everything up.
