Wickes reveals dates it will re-open its DIY stores

The stores in Oxford's Botley Road, and Bicester's Launton Road, are among the second tranche of shops to open their doors after the extended lockdown closure.

Other stores in our region, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Newbury and Northampton, will re-open tomorrow.

Stores will open at either 7 or 8am and close at either 4 or 5pm. 

The Oxford Mail has asked which times apply to our local stores.
