published 5 January 2021

The 2021 lockdown has begun and many people are asking: "Is Homebase open today due to the new lockdown?"

The answer is: yes, Homebase is open today but you may not be advised to travel to the store either to shop or to collect.

That's because while the UK government has said that essential retailers can remain open – and essential means retailers such as "food shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, garden centres, building merchants and suppliers of building products and off-licences" – it is also advising that you do not travel from your local area. That advice reads: "If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live."

So unless you live next door to a Homebase (what, you live in KFC?) then you're probably better off ordering from Homebase online and getting your order delivered instead.

Kitchen and bathroom design appointments are available as virtual appointments, or in-store consultation at some stores, as Homebase says "We are currently unable to offer showroom consultations in some of our showrooms in line with government guidelines and may only be able to offer a virtual consultation."
