THESE are the updated opening times for York's Primark stores as shoppers prepare to hit the high street.

Non-essential retail will open up alongside outdoor hospitality, gyms and hairdressers and more from Monday, April 12.

In the next stage of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown, there will still be a number of rules in place while opening hours may change for safety purposes.

This includes fashion chain Primark - which has two stores in the York area - where there will be extended opening times to limit customer queues.

The Coppergate branch will be open 9am to 7.30pm Monday-Friday however Saturday and Sunday hours are not confirmed just yet.

There will be early closures next weekend due to the holiday. On Saturday, April 17, the shop will be open 9am to 6.30pm and 11pm to 5pm on Sunday, April 18.

The Monks Cross Shopping Park store will open Monday to Friday from 9am to 9.30pm with weekend opening times to be confirmed.

Much like the Coppergate branch, times will differ next weekend. The Monks Cross shop will open 9am-8pm on Saturday, April 17 and 10.30am to 5pm on Sunday, April 18.
