Greggs Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday 2022 opening times: What time are stores open today?

WHETHER you’re watching the party at the Palace or celebrating with a street shindig, Brits will bring in the Platinum Jubilee in style.

But there is only one question on the lips of pastry lovers – when can they grab a Greggs over the bumper Bank Holiday weekend?

Believe it or not, the Queen herself owns a Glouchestshire branch of the budget bakery as part of The Crown Estate.

So it’s no wonder Greggs is shelling out free sausage rolls to JustEat customers to commemorate Her Majesty’s 70-years on the throne.

We got the lowdown from the British bakery chain so you don’t have to fret over how to get your Greggs fix.

Is Greggs open over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday? 

Ordinarily, most stores of Britain’s much-loved bakery are open from early in the morning until between 5-7pm.

These times can vary from store to store, so it’s always a good idea to check before heading out.

But over this bank holiday, there’s likely to be even more variation.

It’s recommended that you check your local store’s opening hours before setting out.

How can I find the opening hours for my local Greggs store? 

Greggs has a handy store locator on it’s website, which you can use to check whether your local store will be open.

Alternatively, the locator provides contact details for each store, so you can use those to phone your nearest outlet.

Whatever you do, make sure to enjoy the bank holiday.

Forecasters say the weather is set to heat up this weekend as the sunshine returns.

If your closest Greggs is located within a shopping centre, it is advisable to check the opening times of the precinct as well.

What bank holidays are left in 2022?

Brits will be gutted to find out there aren’t many Bank Holidays left in 2022.

After Her Majesty threw in an extra-long bank holiday for her Platinum Jubilee, there’s only three left this year.

The next time the country will come to a stop is for the Summer Bank Holiday on August 29.

It was first introduced just to give us all a bit more time to enjoy the sunshine before the winter months set in.

But over the festive period, Brits will bag two consecutive days off thanks to the way Christmas falls.

December 26 is a day of rest thanks to Boxing Day, and December 27 has been subbed in as a Bank Hol as Christmas Day falls on a Sunday.
