The May Bank Holiday may affect some things such as shops closing slightly earlier and your deliveries may also be delayed.
Read on to find out how your deliveries and collections could be affected.
Is there post over the May Bank Holiday?
Royal Mail says that it delivers on most days of the year, including Saturdays.
But they do not deliver or collect on public holidays.
That includes any Bank Holidays throughout the year.
You can still post a letter at any one of their 100,000 post boxes across the country.
But you won’t be able to go into a Post Office on a Bank Holiday as these are usually closed.
If you need to send a larger package or need other services from the Post Office, you’ll need to do this before or after the Bank Holiday.
