Let's get you in the know about our

Spring Bank Holiday & Ascension Day

We wanted to share our Spring Bank Holiday opening and buying times with you. Many of you will have predicted we’ll be closed for that Monday bank holiday.

However, more importantly Holland has Ascension Day coming up soon too! We share how this affects the Dutch flower auctions and growers and may have an influence on your buying.

Spring Bank Holiday

Cash & Carry Opening Times:

We’re closed on the Monday 26th May, however, this is not a bank holiday in Holland. So there will be no affect on us receiving everything as usual.

Monday 26th May
Spring bank holiday
CLOSED

You just need to be aware we won’t be open for buying, collecting and we won’t be making any deliveries on this bank holiday.

The webshop buying options will reflect this.

Ascension Day

Ascension Day is a Bank Holiday held in Holland on Thursday 29th May, as such the Dutch flower auctions are closed on this day. Therefore, there are no flowers coming in from Holland to the UK (for Friday delivery or collection).

However, we are open as usual and will have a good level of stock, just as you would expect. You can also ordering online as usual from ‘Flowers London’.

Please Note:

This Dutch Bank Holiday does affect other buying options, which you need to bear this in mind, especially as the wedding season is getting in full flow! We go into great detail a little lower.

Buying information:

DUTCH FLOWER AUCTION CLOSED!

Buying from 'Flowers Holland'

If you’d have liked to receive flowers from ‘Flowers Holland’ or ‘VIP Flowers’ on Friday 10th May please ensure you place your orders for arrival on Thursday, rather than Friday.

Our webshop will reflect the buying options accordingly, we just wanted you to know the earlier buying deadline.

We’re always happy to help

We will happily keep your flowers in our fridge for collection or delivery on Friday should you wish. As mentioned you will need to place your orders as if for a Thursday arrival, then just let us know that you’d like them on Friday, rather than the Thursday (when they’ll be arriving).

Your 'Pre-Orders'

Similarly to ‘Flowers Holland’ you will need to adjust your ‘Pre-Order’ buying times although you will have the option to select Friday buying.

If you would like ‘Pre-Order’ Flowers for Friday 30th May that online buying option is open to you* however, your flowers will arrive with us on Thursday 29th May and we’ll hold them in our fridge before your delivery or collection on Friday.

What you do need to bear in mind!*

Please be aware the cut off time for your Pre-Orders will reflect their arrival on Thursday, rather than Friday.

This means you need to have completed your buying by 8pm Tuesday – but remember you can buy anytime before that. 

Of course if you have any queries, or would like to place the order with us directly, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Any Queries?

If you have any question just ask!

We hope we’re covered everything. However, if you have any queries, or would like to place the order with us directly, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Happy Spring!

If you get that spring bank holiday off and a long weekend – enjoy!

Best wishes all the team at Westflor.
