We’re not giving you a boring spreadsheet. Instead, think of these as DIY dives. Inverness is still open—good luck finding a better place for haggis-themed garden tools. Plymouth has one too—it’s a beacon of paint in the southwest.
Leeds is holding strong. Milton Keynes? Yes, the concrete jungle has a Homebase. And Cardiff—you can still buy plant pots and Welsh pride.
But here’s the kicker: Some stores are half-closed. They share space with other shops. It’s like a retail hybrid—half hardware, half random discount tat. Embrace the chaos.
What to Expect When You Visit
Imagine walking in and seeing half-empty shelves. It’s not sad—it’s minimalist! You’ll find weird clearance items like “3 bags of wood chips” or “a single, lonely door handle.” That’s the charm.

The gardening section might look like a post-apocalyptic greenhouse. But the staff? They’ll give you directions to the nearest replacement store with a glint of mischief. They’re in on the joke.
And the best part? You can brag to your friends: “I found the last open Homebase in the UK.” It’s a flex that only DIY nerds will appreciate.
