Over the festive period, the majority of our stores will be open as usual with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We urge all customers to call before visiting your local store, between Christmas and New Year, as operating hours may differ to usual and our other stores. Store information and contact details can be found here: https://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/storefinder

Click and Collect will be available throughout the festive period, but please check with your selected store as to their festive opening hours before placing a Click and Collect order as normal collection times may be affected. 

The last order dispatch from our online store will be Wednesday 24th December at 1pm.

Orders dispatched on this day will be delivered from Monday 29th December.

For delivery before Christmas, orders must be placed on or before 3pm on Monday 22nd December. We cannot guarantee delivery of these orders pre-Christmas as we are reliant on our couriers, but will use our best endeavours to get orders placed on this date out to you before Christmas. 

(Please note this excludes all products which are delivered directly from the manufacturer. Orders for these products will be dispatched in the New Year).
