Bank holiday and Christmas opening hours
Costco UK's warehouse pages give the same rules everywhere:
- Bank holidays: 10am to 6pm.
- Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve: 10am to 5pm.
- Closed: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. The 3 Scottish warehouses (Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow) also close on 2 January.
For every date from Christmas Eve to 4 January, see Costco UK Christmas opening hours.
Costco closes on the days themselves. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, as on 26 December 2026, the warehouse is closed that Saturday and opens with bank holiday hours on the Monday bank holiday that replaces it.

Bank holidays from gov.uk. Scotland's bank holidays differ from England and Wales; the table says where they apply. Individual warehouses can list different hours for a day (Glasgow posts its own St Andrew's Day hours), and the checker above uses those.
Petrol station hours
Costco's 22 UK petrol stations open at 6am on weekdays and close at 9:30pm, longer than the warehouse. See every petrol station and its hours.
