Home Bargains changes its weekend opening hours: what to expect for shoppers.

HOME Bargains is a popular destination for British shoppers where they can buy affordable and quality home goods.

During the bank holidays in August, the chain may change its opening hours, just like many other stores.

Home Bargains will be open on Monday, August 25, 2025, so shoppers can do their shopping on their day off, but some locations will have reduced hours.

Generally, the chain is closed only on Christmas and Good Friday due to legislative requirements for the closure of large stores on these holidays.

Typically, they open at 8 AM and close at 8 PM, so it's best to check the hours directly at the store or use the Home Bargains store finder tool.

During the bank holidays in August, shoppers often rush to stores to buy items for the garden and barbecue and enjoy the warm weather.

Among the popular items at Home Bargains are artificial plants like cherry trees and elephant-shaped garden lamps, while real olive trees are available for just £19.99.

History of the Home Bargains chain

The first Home Bargains store was opened in Liverpool in 1976 by founder Tom Morris when he was just 21 years old.

Today, the chain is one of the largest private companies in the UK with over 575 stores across the country as of August 2025.
