Asda has confirmed its opening hours for the upcoming May Bank Holidays in 2026, falling on Monday 4 May and Monday 25 May. Customers planning their shopping trips should note that most large Asda stores will operate from 8am to 8pm on both dates.
Standard Opening Times for Asda Superstores
On Monday 4 May and Monday 25 May, standard-sized Asda supermarkets will welcome shoppers between 8am and 8pm. These hours apply to the majority of Asda's large-format stores across the United Kingdom. However, shoppers are advised to check local listings as some branches may vary slightly.
Asda Express Locations
For those visiting smaller Asda Express convenience stores, the situation differs. These outlets typically remain open 24 hours a day or continue operating until their usual late-night closing time. This provides greater flexibility for customers needing to pick up essentials outside the main store hours.
The supermarket chain has not announced any further changes to its Bank Holiday schedule, but it recommends checking the store locator on its official website for the most up-to-date information on individual branch times. This is particularly important for stores in Scotland, where Bank Holiday dates may differ.
Asda's announcement comes as many retailers prepare for the early May Bank Holiday, which marks the first of two public holidays in the month. The second, on 25 May, is the Spring Bank Holiday. Both are popular times for barbecues and outdoor gatherings, with Asda promoting its George Portable BBQ range as part of its seasonal offerings.
