On social media Post Office has warned that branch opening times may differ this May Bank Holiday, and is asking customers to check with their local branch in store or on their social media pages for updated opening times.

If your local post office is in a shop that is going to be open – like WH Smith – the post office should be open with the shop. However, to check your nearest branch it’s best to contact them directly or check social media, as many standalone branches will be shut.

Customers are also reminded that there will be no Royal Mail collections or deliveries on Monday, May 2. Services will resume as normal from Tuesday. The second May Bank Holiday will not take place this year as normal, as it has been replaced by a four-day weekend in June to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
