Are newspapers published and delivered over the August bank holiday?

NEWSPAPERS are still in demand even though we entered a heavily digital era.

But you may be wondering whether newspapers will be published or delivered during the August bank holiday.

Are newspapers published over the August bank holiday?

News never stops happening, so journalists have to be on the go 24/7.

That means that newspaper presses across the UK are running as usual over the August bank holiday.

All national daily newspapers, including The Sun, are available to buy on August 29.

So don’t worry, you won’t miss out on any transfer deals being made last minute as we edge closer to the end of the summer window.

The only day in the year that newspapers aren’t published is Christmas Day – other than that, daily nationals are printed all year long non-stop.

Papers arrive in stores as normal over the bank holiday – with newspapers delivered as usual.

But it’s best to check with the shop you have the newspaper delivered from to make sure you still receive yours through the letterbox.

Some smaller newsagents might not provide normal deliveries on this day – or the person on your paper round may be taking a well-earned break.

Also, your local supermarket might be closed or have reduced hours for the bank holiday, so you won’t be able to purchase your newspaper from there.

Brits have enjoyed six of nine bank holidays so far in 2022.
