Returning to the UK on Saturday 11th December! We are getting the ferry from Santander and need to take a test 2 days prior to sailing. Does anybody know if you can walk in to a pharmacy and get a test. If not any suggestions.

I wonder if it would be best to get this test done in Santander as the limit is 48 hours before arrival in the UK and you have to spend a night on board? We always break our journey with an overnight stop too. You could have weather problems on the way as there is a lot of snow north of Madrid.

Hi...the rules may be different for sailings...for flights the antigen test needs to be within 48 hours of arrival in the UK (not the departure time).

Kind Regards
