Marks and Spencer New Year's Day 2024 opening times explained

Posted by Jenniffer Sheldon on Tuesday, July 30, 2024

M&S fans will be keen to know what time the retailer's stores are open over the busy Christmas period.

Some shops and supermarkets reduce hours on public holidays to give staff some much-needed time off.

That means M&S may change hours across many of its stores over Christmas, so you'll want to make a note of their opening times.

The posh supermarket has more than 400 stores across the UK and you can find your local by using the store locator tool on its website.

When will M&S be open over Christmas and New Year?

Opening times at M&S stores vary so it's always best to check your local store to avoid disappointment.

The retailer said that all its sites close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day this year.
