What date is Black Friday 2021 in the UK?

This year Black Friday falls on November 26.

Black Friday always falls the day after the American Thanksgiving holiday, which always takes place on the fourth Thursday in November.

What started as a US-only event has now grown into one of the biggest global sale periods in the retail calendar, with thousands of brands and retailers now choosing to take part.

Black Friday easily rivals the popular UK Boxing Day sales period after Christmas, and dwarfs Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale, which takes place earlier in the year.

When do Black Friday 2021 deals start?

Traditionally Black Friday sales began at midnight, but over the last few years many retailers have chosen to begin their sales even earlier.

We expect most major chains will tease early bird deals from the beginning of November.

This offers a longer stretch of time for shoppers to take full advantage of price cuts ahead of the festive season.

The additional time to search out deals will also be welcomed by shoppers who are concerned about supply issues that may affect stock levels of popular items during the sale.

You can check out our sale start date predictions for all the big retailers including Tesco, Very and Currys to get ahead of the rush.

How long does Black Friday last?

It’s highly likely Black Friday 2021 will be more of a month-long event, than just a 48-hour shopping spree.

Most major retailers are likely to kick off reductions from early November, with most running deals right through until Cyber Monday on November 29.

Last year Boots, Amazon and John Lewis, along with a number of other major retailers, decided to launch deals a fortnight earlier than the official date.

The move enabled consumers to shop for deals for longer during the restrictions that were in place due to the pandemic.

With restrictions now lifted across the UK, many retailers will be encouraging consumers back into stores.

But many bargain-hunters will still prefer to pick up huge savings online as soon as the sales go live.

Regardless of whether you plan to head to your favourite shops or sit on your sofa online and shop, it’s best to stay up to date with all the latest deals from key retailers by following this guide.

You can also sign up to retailer newsletters and follow key stores on social media to get important announcements and sale previews.

When do Black Friday sales end?

Most Black Friday sales will come to end on Cyber Monday, which falls on November 29.

Cyber Monday is traditionally an online only sale for retailers to slash prices ahead of the festive season.

Originally just a marketing ploy, the event has now become one last opportunity to pick up savings on coveted items without the chaos previously witnessed in stores during Black Fridays of yesteryear.

You can swat up on everything you need to know about Cyber Monday, including where to find the best deals in our guide.

What’s the history of Black Friday?

The term “Black Friday” was first used by police officers in Philadelphia, in America, back in the 1950s to describe heavy traffic on the day after Thanksgiving as people began their Christmas shopping. That sparked a tradition in retail.

It became a big deal in the UK when Amazon introduced Black Friday as a sales day in 2010. Other retailers, like Asda, soon followed suit.

And, as online shopping became increasingly popular, Black Friday was joined by Cyber Monday, extending the sales period and introducing great digital-only savings for shoppers.

What are the best Black Friday deals 2021?

Black Friday has become synonymous with tech savings, and shoppers can expect deals on popular brands like Apple, Samsung, Fitbit and more during the sale.

You can also expect incredible savings on other categories such as baby, beauty and fashion too.

Shoppers can maximise savings during Black Friday by using the Sun Vouchers website to check for extra discounts at top retailers.

It’s also worth checking cashback sites like TopCashback, which offer money back on any purchases you make at thousands of retailers when you use their site.

Right now TopCashback is offering a special £15 Black Friday bonus for all new members (it’s free to join).

The bonus can be used when making online purchases via the platform at hundreds of retailers.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy?

Black Friday is a great time to purchase a wide range of items, across all categories.

But to really understand whether you are getting a good deal we advise shoppers to check price comparison sites to find the lowest price a product has been recently marked down to.

If you see a deal during Black Friday that’s cheaper than the guide price listed on the comparison website, you can be fairly confident you’re getting a good saving.

Read our guide to find out the key differences between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and which day is best for discounts.

Is Black Friday cheaper than Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day is just limited to the online retailer, while Black Friday offers competitive deals from numerous shops and sites. And the former is strictly limited to Prime customers.

However, there are big savings to be had on Prime Day, particularly on the company’s own lines of products – such as Echo Dot, Kindle and Fire Stick. Prime Day generally edges out Black Friday on tech deals overall.

But Black Friday is generally top for a range of other items, including homeware. It’s also better positioned for you to take advantage of big savings when it comes to Christmas shopping.

Are Black Friday deals real?

Absolutely! Black Friday is now a well-established annual tradition, with all the leading retailers and brands taking part.

However, you should still exercise caution. Always remember that if a deal looks too good to be true, and you’re not sure about the source, you should think twice before handing over your money.
