Yahoo Finance May Bank Holiday Monday DIY stores opening hours: B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Ikea and more
It's another Bank Holiday today - which can only mean one thing: it's time to get out those paint brushes for that snagging decorating job or go and buy that flat-packed furniture that's on special offer!
Here's the opening times for all the big DIY stores, plus the likes of Argos, John Lewis and Curry's PC World this May bank holiday weekend. Enjoy your day!
Argos
While you may have forgotten to click-and-collect and have your item delivered to a Sainsbury's ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend, you can still pop into an Argos store.
Opening times will vary store by store. The locator is here, with detailed times for each store.
B&Q
If DIY car maintenance is more you, then B&Q stores in the UK will open at the normal time on Monday and close at 8pm, apart from B&Q Grimsby which will open 9am and close at 5pm.
To find your nearest B&Q, take a look at the website.
Currys PC World
Where in the world? You got it. It's PC World. The electricals specialist's opening times this weekend vary store-by-store, so you may be better off checking their website's useful store locator, which lets you find the stores by address.
Halfords
Bank Holiday's are perfect for bike rides, but if you realise you no longer fit your old bike (or just want to treat yourself to a brand new one), then Halfords could be the place for you.
The out-of-town retailer is open as normal on Saturday and Sunday, with stores open on Monday at 9am but only until 6pm in the majority of cases.
The store locator details which store is open when.
Homebase
Homebase stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be open from 7am to 8pm on Saturday and Monday, while normal hours will be operating on Sunday.
It may still be worth visiting the retailer's website before making the trip.
Ikea
Ikea has "special" opening times for the bank holiday, and will generally be open from 9am or 10am until 8pm on Monday in many cases.
On Sunday, Ikea stores will generally be open from 11am to 5pm, but some stores do have different opening hours, so it's best to check before you make the trip out.
For up-to-date information on those hours, check out the Swedish retailer's website.
John Lewis
Although the retailer prides itself on being never knowingly undersold, when it comes to bank holiday opening hours, it's slightly less clear-cut.
Many stores appear to be operating slightly reduced hours on Monday and should be either open between 10am and 6pm or 10am and 8pm. Make sure you time your visit by checking the store locator on its website.
Wickes
Most stores are open between 6.30am and 9pm on Saturday and Monday, although there are a handful of exceptions. You can check and see if your store is one of them right here.
Whats the weather going to be like this weekend?
After a cold week, a change in wind direction means it'll turn milder for the #BankHolidayWeekend, but low pressure will bring mixed weather pic.twitter.com/tQB586fRuX
