What is Black Friday and how long do the 2023 sales last in the UK?

The Black Friday sales have always fallen on the weekend following the US holiday of Thanksgiving, in late November. While the sale event once lasted for just one day, the annual deals bonanza has since grown, turning into a long weekend of offers. Deals will continue through the weekend and into the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday.

Last year, the Black Friday sale started on Friday 25 November, but it began on Friday 24 November this year, with deals continuing to land until Monday 27 November.

Best deals on home appliances to expect in 2023

We’re expecting the likes of Dyson, Shark, Ninja and other popular home appliance brands to join the Black Friday roster this year, while Amazon, John Lewis & Partners, Very, and Argos are among the retailers expected to take part.

While we can’t know for sure which products will see the biggest and best discounts this year, there’s undoubtedly going to be deals on tech, Amazon devices, laptops, mattresses, beauty products and more. The likes of Lego, Nike, Apple and Charlotte Tilbury (among many others) are also names to look out for.
