Only a handful of pharmacies across Wiltshire will be open during the Christmas and New Year period.

While we all hope for good health over the festive season, illnesses don’t stop just for Christmas so it’s important to know which pharmacies you can go to.

In Wiltshire, all GP practices will be closed on the festive bank holidays.

A few pharmacists will remain open on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but these will all operate on reduced hours. 

Out of the 66 Wiltshire pharmacies (not including Swindon), only seven will be open on Christmas Day.

To help you know where to go, we’ve compiled a list of which pharmacies will be open on the key festive days, and at what time they will close.
