Primark are celebrating the first week of the high street reopening with extended hours, but is your local one of the stores open later and earlier?

Primark is among hundreds of high street stores that have been allowed to reopen this week as part of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown.

Non-essential retail was given the green light to reopen their doors from April 12, resulting in long queues outside stores as people eagerly return to retail therapy.

The extended hours depend on each store, so make sure to check online before visiting.

In a statement, a Primark spokesperson said: "For the first week of re-opening initially, stores will open for two extra hours per day on average, typically an hour earlier and later.

"This will help reduce queues, spread demand and give customers more time to shop safely. Times will vary by store so customers should check their local opening hours on our website."

They added: "Following the government announcement confirming retailers are able to extend trading hours, there has been a change in some regions and agreements with shopping centres.

"In light of this, we will now have extended trading in all stores except one.

"Newcastle will retain its trading hours as stated from 08.00 - 20.00, which is 3 hours more than other retailers around us in that city."
