Do you get post on Good Friday and Easter Monday? And is the Post Office open? Here's how the bank holiday weekend affects postal services from the Royal Mail and Post Office, including collections and deliveries.

With a four-day weekend for Easter 2023 to enjoy there also comes plenty of travel chaos, supermarket closures and of course, Royal Mail delivery delays.

Set for sunny and dry weather too, the bank holiday weekend will see friends and family gather for celebrations and easter egg hunts.

But while many of us are set to enjoy big roast dinners, chocolate and lots of hot cross buns, make sure you don't leave yourself frustrated or caught out with the Royal Mail delivery and postal times this weekend.

Will the Post Office be open on Easter weekend?
