General Information on Special Hours

 

For Special Hours to be visible or rather to work, you need to have your original set opening hours listed.

Use Closed in your special hours for holidays that fall mid week, like; Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day etc. If you don’t set it as closed Google displays a red message saying; Christmas eve might affect these hours.

Special hours can be also be used if your hours are extended or reduced on particular days; extended hours during festive season or summer trade, or shorter hours on a bank holiday.

Special hours can be set for 1 calendar year in advance.

You can only set 3 months worth of days consecutively as closed. If you are closed for refurbishment for 4 months, then you will need to set the first 3 months, then remove the 1st months set of dates, after that period and add the final months worth of dates.
