Pharmacy Christmas 2022 opening times in Manchester including Boots and Lloyds

Christmas time should be a time of joy and happiness. But if you are on medication, getting a hold of your prescriptions during the holiday season can be hard as many pharmacies around Manchester are closed.

To make sure customers are able to stock up on the things they need before Christmas, high street pharmacies like Boots will stay open late on the week leading up to the big day. As Christmas Day lands on a Sunday this year, many pharmacies will remain closed on Tuesday, December 27 as it will be an observed bank holiday.

As with any bank holiday, the NHS recommends you remember to order your repeat prescriptions, and if needed, consult a doctor well in advance of the Christmas holiday. According to the NHS, the 111 service saw a 400 per cent increase in people contacting about prescription renewals ahead of the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday, and in order to ensure you get your medicines, the sooner you call the better.

While most pharmacies are closed from Christmas Day to the observed bank holiday on December 27, some Boots pharmacies will open with reduced hours on Boxing Day. Here is a list of pharmacy Christmas opening times in Manchester.
