Is the Post Office open during the early May Bank Holiday?
Many Post Offices will be open as normal throughout the May Bank Holiday weekend.
Normally the Post Office is shut on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Customers can check if their local branch is open and for what hours on the Post Office website.
