What is Black Friday?

Black Friday in the UK is a major shopping event. It originated in the United States and takes place on the Friday following Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. In the UK, Black Friday 2025 is on the 28th of November and is characterised by retailers offering substantial discounts online and in-store. Black Friday has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year, with consumers eagerly taking advantage of the deals to purchase a wide range of products, from electronics and fashion to home appliances and more. In recent years, Black Friday in the UK has extended beyond a single day and often encompasses an entire weekend or even a week of sales, providing shoppers with ample opportunities to grab some great deals.

What is the VIP Event?

Our VIP Event is Bonmarché’s take on the famous Black Friday sales - also taking place on Friday 28th November 2025. Want to be the first to know about what’s coming up? Join our Bonus Club for exclusive invitations, personalised offers and vouchers to help you save even more on the clothes you love. It’s one of the busiest shopping times of the year, and honestly, it’s worth the excitement! These deals only come around once a year, so whether you’re stocking up on everyday favourites or planning ahead for Christmas gifting, it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself. And if you’d rather skip the crowds, no problem - our VIP Event runs both online and in-store, so you can shop your way. So how do you bag a bargain on Black Friday?

Top Tip 1: Plan Ahead

When the discounts start flying, it’s easy to get swept up in the moment. Planning ahead keeps you focused - and helps avoid those “how did that end up in my basket?” surprises. Take a peek at our Best Sellers and make a little wish list of your must-haves. Maybe that new winter coat you’ve had your eye on, a few cosy jumpers, or something sparkly for party season. When the VIP Event kicks off, you’ll know exactly where to start clicking. Pro tip: while you’re browsing, check out the customer reviews. They’re a great way to see what other shoppers love about each item and can help you decide which pieces are worth snapping up first.

Top Tip 2: Download your favourite Brand's Apps

One smart move is to download the apps of your favourite brands. Not only do they make browsing and buying online a breeze, but you can also use them in-store to collect reward points and access exclusive discounts. Apps often give early access to sales, personalised offers, and handy features like wishlists or notifications when your favourite items go on discount - basically a secret weapon for snagging the best deals, wherever you’re shopping.

What is the Bonmarché Bonus Club App?

Download the Bonmarché Bonus Club App for instant access to your loyalty rewards, discounts and exclusive offers - all in one handy place. Plus, you can now shop directly through the app for a safer, easier and more personalised experience. Here’s how it works:

    Top Tip 3: Follow On Social Media & Sign Up To Newsletters

    Want to be first in line when the deals drop? Follow Bonmarché on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for updates, sneak peeks and special VIP Event content. And don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter - it’s where you’ll find early access links, exclusive discounts and a few bonus surprises straight to your inbox.

    Top Tip 4 - Compare Prices and Discounts

    There’s nothing worse than finding the same cardigan cheaper somewhere else after you’ve bought it. So before you hit checkout, have a quick browse to make sure you’re getting the best deal. That said, Bonmarché’s prices are always great value - and with VIP Event savings on top, you’ll be hard-pressed to find better. Also, take a look at the reviews. They can tell you if something fits true to size, how the fabric feels in real life, and which items are favourites with other shoppers – all handy when deciding what to put in your basket.

    Top Tip 5: Online vs. In-Store

    Some of us love a good browse; others prefer a cuppa and a scroll. Luckily, you can do both!

    Online shopping perks:
  • No queues - and you can collect in store.
  • Easy price comparisons.
  • Shop in your pyjamas (we won’t tell).
  • In-store perks:
  • Try before you buy.
  • Feel those fabrics.
  • Leave with your new finds in hand.
  • Or mix and match - browse online first, then pop into your local Bonmarché to see your favourites in person.
