BRITS hoping to get a spot of DIY done during the long weekend will be pleased to know they can pop to Homebase for supplies.
While plenty of workplaces around the country will temporarily shut for the Queen’s Jubilee, the home improvement store will remain open.
It means those who’d prefer to pick up a toolbelt at their house rather than wave a Union Jack at a street party are in luck.
So here’s everything you need to know about when Homebase will be open during the bank holiday.
Is Homebase open over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday?
Yes! Homebase will be open from Wednesday, June 1 to Saturday, June 4.

The DIY chain is set to open its doors from 9am until 6pm.
However, this will depend on the store.
How can I find the opening hours for my local store?
The best way to find out if your nearest branch is open is to head online.
The company has a page dedicated to information on its individual branches.

Are there deliveries over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday and weekend?
Homebase offers a range of delivery services normally – including next or named day delivery.
This means if something in store is too bulky for you to take home, you can order online or in-store and have it brought to you.
Delivery can cost extra – depending on how big your items are.
And Homebase doesn’t deliver on Sundays throughout the year.

Are there any promotional offers over the bank holiday?
Homebase currently has some great offers for the Jubilee weekend.
The store has a £150 Jubilee bundle live on their website – meaning you can get more for less this weekend.
Simply add the qualifying products to your basket and the discount will be applied.
We suggest you head to over to the deals section of the Homebase website.
There’s currently a promotion for 20 per cent of all gardening, garden furniture, and BBQs – so you can host a Jubilee party from the comfort of your own home.
