Fasten your seatbelts and return your seats to the upright position – Black Friday deals are poised to land in the UK.

The biggest event on the shopping calendar is on the horizon. Every year it gets bigger and bolder with deeper discounts to scoop as more and more retailers clamouring to hop onto the bargain bandwagon.

Whether you’ve been waiting to pounce on a discounted big ticket item or you’re looking to bag a bargain for gifting or as a little self treat, Black Friday is the ultimate shopping event you won’t want to miss.

Given we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on these shores, there can be confusion over when exactly Black Friday takes place. The actual date moves every year, as it takes place on the last Friday of November.

In 2025, this means Black Friday will take place from November 28.

With retailers battling against each other for your precious Pound Sterling, and all with plenty of stock to offload, we expect price-cutting to take place even earlier this year, typically from early November.

Most retailers will offer site-wide discounts online while others will have a dedicated section to help you shop with ease. Expect a deluge of deals from the likes of Amazon, Anthropologie, Currys, John Lewis, Samsung, Apple, Dyson, Very, Wayfair, Urban Outfitters amongst others.

If you’re hoping luxury for less? Big designers and brands are taking a piece of the Black Friday sales action: think Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Liberty London, Net-A-Porter and more.

With nearly a decade of Black Friday events under our collective belt, Standard Shopping has Black Friday by the scruff of its neck. We’ve been shouting about the annual sales extravaganza for years now, allowing our readers to get ahead of the festive shopping season while bagging savvy bargains.
