WHSmith Opening Hours for May Bank Holidays

WHSmith stores across the UK will be open on both the Early May Bank Holiday (Monday 5th May 2025) and the Spring Bank Holiday (Monday 26th May 2025), but with reduced opening hours compared to regular weekdays.

• England and Wales: Most WHSmith branches are expected to open on both bank holidays, typically with shorter hours such as 9am to 5pm or 10am to 4pm, depending on the location. High street stores, travel outlets (in stations and airports), and hospital branches may each have slightly different hours.
• Scotland: WHSmith stores in Scotland will also be open on both bank holidays, generally following similar reduced hours as in England and Wales, though some local variations may apply.

Please note that some WHSmith high street stores are closing in 2025, so it is advisable to check if your local branch is still operating and to confirm specific opening times using the WHSmith Store Locator before visiting on a bank holiday.

Summary:
WHSmith is open throughout the UK on both May bank holidays, with most branches operating reduced hours. Always check your local store’s hours in advance, as there may be local differences and some closures.
