Post Office Easter Opening Hours 2026

Standalone Post Office branches have a complex schedule over the Easter weekend that depends entirely on your location. In England and Wales, standalone branches are closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday. However, Scotland bucks the trend: Scottish branches and Royal Mail services operate normally on Good Friday, though they align with the rest of the UK and close on Easter Monday. It is also important to note that Post Office counters located inside convenience stores (like SPAR or Co-Op) will generally remain open throughout the weekend, including Easter Sunday, according to the host shop's operating hours.
