Are Post Offices open on Good Friday and Easter Monday?

It's the middle of April and many of us will be making the most of the four-day bank holiday weekend.

With a warm and dry weekend forecast for Greater Manchester, it's set to be a busy period as families head out to enjoy the sun. And after two years of pandemic-induced disruption, many will be looking forward to the resumption of normal service.

There will be no collections of deliveries on Good Friday (April 15) or on Easter Monday (April 18). Services should operate as usual on Saturday (April 16) but most Post Offices are closed on Sundays.
