IF you’re planning on heading to your local Screwfix over the Christmas holidays, it’s important to first check store opening hours.
This is because a number of retailers opt to close store shutters and adjust opening hours during the festive season, to allow staff a little extra time to celebrate with family and friends.
Is Screwfix open over the Christmas holidays?
Across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Screwfix stores will be open prior to Christmas Day.
Those hoping to bag a DIY essential or two can do so until Christmas Eve.
But remember, opening and closing times may vary depending on the location of the store, so it’s always advised to check ahead, whether you use the Screwfix online store locator tool or phone your local store ahead of time.
All Screwfix stores will close doors on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, before re-opening once more on December 27.
