When is Black Friday 2023 in the UK?

This year’s Black Friday sale kicks off on Friday 24 November and continues right through to Monday 27 November, which is known as Cyber Monday. However, you might also see additional discounts pop up in advance of the big weekend. In fact, we’ve already spotted early Black Friday deals from John Lewis & Partners, Curry’s and Very.

When will Very’s Black Friday sale start?

While the official date for the start of Black Friday is 24 November, Very is one of those aforementioned retailers that like to get things going early. Last year, its Black Friday offers started dropping in the first week of November, and, luckily for those looking to bag an early discount, this year, Very looks to be just as eager to get the Black Friday ball rolling. Over on its website, there are already a whole host of (very) early deals.

What were the best Very Black Friday deals from last year?

In 2022, the UK online retailer slashed prices on thousands of products, including home appliances, fashion, beauty, TVs and laptops. Kitchen gadgets, such as air fryers and coffee machines, saw some of the biggest discounts, including Tefal’s actifry genius XL model (£259, Very.co.uk), which was reduced to £198.

When it came to tech, LG’s huge 83in G2 evo smart TV (was £6,299.99, now £4,999, Very.co.uk) had an £800 price cut. Apple fans were given a rare saving of £150 on the brand’s MacBook Air 13in (was £949, now £799, Very.co.uk), too.

What deals can we expect from Very in this year’s Black Friday sale?

If last year’s offering is anything to go by, rest assured there will be some seriously incredible savings to be had.

In previous years, the retailer has cut the price of TVs, laptops, wearable tech, home and garden furniture, kitchen appliances, clothing, beauty and toys, and we predict 2023 will be no different. Expect to see brands such as Samsung, Acer, Fitbit, Marc Jacobs and Vtech getting involved.
