B&Q, Ikea, Halfords, Next, Argos August bank holiday opening times

With a long weekend up ahead, many of us will be thinking about what home improvements we can carry out whilst we have that much needed time.

Or maybe head for some retail therapy.

But, you may need to get planning in advance as the bank holiday weekend, which takes place between Saturday 24 and Monday 26 August, causes havoc with shopping times.

Like with all bank holidays, opening times for stores up and down the country create a little bit of shopping chaos by changing their hours - but of course all for good reason.
