Bank holiday hours may also affect delivery schedules.
It’s a good idea to check the John Lewis website for updates on online orders and home deliveries, as service times may vary too.
Will shops be closed over the August bank holiday?
Many shops will be closed over the August bank holiday, not only John Lewis.
This is to give staff a chance to spend quality time with their families and enjoy some well-earned rest.
If you’re planning a shopping trip during the long weekend, it’s a good idea to check the opening hours of your favourite spots in advance.
But while physical store hours may vary, you can typically still shop online as usual.
