Starbucks Opening Times

The median UK store opens at 6:30am on a weekday, with most somewhere between 6:00am and 7:00am. Drive-thrus open earlier at a median of 6:00am, and airport counters earlier still: the first at Manchester Airport starts at 3:30am.

7:30pm is the weekday median, and most stores close between 6:30pm and 8:30pm. Drive-thru stores run latest at a median of 8:30pm. Sunday is the earliest close at 7:00pm.

Most UK stores close, in line with the rest of the high street, though a few travel and motorway sites trade short hours. Starbucks UK publishes no national holiday schedule, so the only reliable check is the store's own page here or the Starbucks app on the day.

Generally yes, usually on hours closer to a Sunday than a weekday. It is set store by store rather than nationally. The table above gives every UK bank holiday date for the year, computed exactly, including the substitute days when one falls on a weekend.

Because the type of store decides them. A supermarket counter keeps the supermarket's hours, an airport store follows the flight schedule, and a drive-thru serves a commute. No single schedule covers more than about 7% of UK stores, which is why this page reports ranges rather than one timetable.

A median of 7:30am, an hour later than a weekday, closing at 7:00pm. Twelve stores do not open on Sunday at all, mostly office and campus sites.

Many stores open late and close early, closer to a Sunday than a weekday. In 2026 Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, so the bank holiday itself moves to Monday 28 December while the 26th trades as a normal Saturday for most shops.

Usually yes, on normal or slightly reduced hours, since neither is a full closure day for the high street. Both are bank holidays across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Good Friday in Scotland too. The table above has the exact dates for this year.

Open its town page from the store locator. Every store card carries all seven days, and today is marked once your browser loads. That is the store's own published week, not a national average.

No, and the gap is wider than most chains. Starbucks hours in the UK are set per branch, so a motorway drive-thru can open before 6am while a shopping centre counter waits for the centre to open. The most common weekday pattern covers under 7% of the estate, which is why this page reports the real spread rather than one schedule.
