ASDA Bank Holiday Monday closing times are branch-specific. Many stores use shorter Holiday Hours instead of their normal Monday timetable, so a Superstore that ordinarily closes at midnight may shut earlier on the bank holiday.
The practical rule is simple: when a Monday is a bank holiday, use the dated Holiday Hours for your branch rather than its standard Monday hours.
Normal Monday and Bank Holiday Monday Are Two Different Timetables
A normal Monday might be one of the longest days of the week at your local ASDA. At another branch, Monday might be the day before 24-hour midweek trading begins.
Neither pattern tells you what will happen on a Bank Holiday Monday if ASDA has published special hours for that date.
The dated holiday entry takes priority.
Why the Closing-Time Difference Can Be Large
Consider a branch whose ordinary Monday schedule runs from early morning until midnight.
If its holiday schedule instead runs from 8am to 10pm, the supermarket closes two hours earlier and also opens later. The total available shopping day becomes noticeably shorter.
This type of change is why checking only the normal weekly table can lead to a wasted late-evening journey.
There Is No National Bank Holiday Monday Closing Time
ASDA does not reduce every branch to one universal closing time.
Different stores can use different holiday schedules because of location, store format and the particular bank holiday involved.
A closing time seen for one Superstore is therefore evidence about that store, not every ASDA in the country.
Which Monday Bank Holidays Need Checking?
Any Monday designated as a bank holiday deserves a fresh check rather than reliance on remembered hours.
This includes spring and summer bank holiday Mondays as well as Easter Monday, which has its own seasonal trading context.
For Easter specifically, see the ASDA Easter Monday closing-time page.
What Happens at Partly 24-Hour Stores?
A bank holiday can interrupt the normal rhythm of a branch that trades continuously during part of the week.
Instead of assuming the store will move straight from Monday into overnight Tuesday trading, read the dated holiday hours and the following Tuesday entry together.
This helps establish whether there is an overnight closure between the holiday and the next day’s normal schedule.
Late Shopping Is the Highest-Risk Assumption
The biggest practical mistake is usually not visiting in the middle of the day. It is assuming that a normally late-closing store will remain open until its usual Monday time.
If you are planning to arrive after 8pm or 9pm, checking the special schedule becomes particularly important because a shortened bank holiday day may already be approaching its end.
Your Pharmacy May Use Yet Another Bank Holiday Schedule
ASDA Pharmacies often open on bank holidays, but pharmacy hours remain separate from the supermarket timetable.
A store being open until late does not establish that prescriptions or pharmacy services remain available until the same time.
The same principle applies to opticians, cafes and other staffed departments.
Three Checks Are Enough for Most Bank Holiday Monday Trips
- Store: confirm the exact branch and address.
- Date: find the Bank Holiday Monday in the Holiday Hours section.
- Service: if you need pharmacy, collection or another department, check its hours separately.

Yes. Some branch holiday listings use a 10pm closing time, including stores that normally stay open later.
