Are newspapers delivered over the May Bank Holiday?
If you receive a newspaper through your letter box, you should expect your delivery as normal.
However, it may still be best to check with your local shop that delivers your paper if the Bank Holiday will disrupt your delivery.
You can still buy them from your local shop on the Bank Holiday, but it may be best to check their opening times beforehand to avoid arriving at a closed shop.
Unlike the Easter Bank Holiday where regulations force stores over 280 square metres to close, May Bank Holidays have no such restrictions, however they may operate on reduced hours.
This means you will be able to go into any shop, whether large or small, to purchase your Monday newspaper.
