Post office opening times for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day

All Post Office branches will be open until 4pm on Christmas Eve, so you have until then tomorrow night to sort out all your last minute postage and packaging needs.

On both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, there is not one straightforward answer as to whether individual branches will be open, as opening hours vary across the Post Office’s 11,500 branches in the UK.

A representative from the Post Office told Metro.co.uk: ‘The vast majority are independently run or are run by our franchise partners. When it comes to Christmas Day and Boxing Day, whether branches are open, and if they are – what times they are open, will vary on an individual basis.

‘Customers can visit postoffice.co.uk for further information.’
