Millions of people around the UK use Amazon to buy a huge range of products, and as a result, some of those might be interested in the deals Amazon Prime Day has to offer.

Officially known as Prime Big Deal Days, it was first staged in July 2015 to mark the website’s 20th anniversary but became a twice-a-year event in 2020.

Prime Day 2023 this October will feature thousands of offers across all categories, from tech gadgets to fashion items.

On the Amazon website, it says: "Prime Big Deal Days is a two-day deal event exclusively for Prime members, featuring discounts and savings on brands they love like Bose, Shark and Fitbit, as well as a wide selection of discounts from small businesses across the UK."
