Question

Here is an example: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm&

Answer 1

I would suggest to keep what you have and not worry about the HTML validator which is only a guide at any rate.

Answer 2

Don’t use the time element.

It’s an error with Schema.org’s documentation. I reported this issue in the Schema.org tracker and it will likely be fixed in the next release.

Possible alternatives:

• data element:

  <data itemprop="openingHours" value="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00">Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm</data>
  

• meta element (which can be used in the body):

  <meta itemprop="openingHours" content="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00"> Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm
