Finding a pharmacy that is open over Christmas

Most pharmacies change their hours over Christmas and New Year, and many close on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. NHS England asks local areas to make sure some pharmacies open on bank holidays, so there should be a pharmacy open near you on each of these days.

Christmas opening times are not yet published for most pharmacies. We will add them to these pages in December once pharmacies publish them. Until then, these pages show which pharmacies opened on the most recent bank holiday, which is a useful guide to the ones that tend to open.

The “Summer bank holiday” column shows what each pharmacy’s NHS website profile said for 31 August 2026. It is not the pharmacy’s Christmas hours.
