Are supermarkets open today? Opening and closing hours of Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Sainsbury’s and more

Here is a list of when the major UK supermarkets are operating this bank holiday

The four day Easter weekend has arrived, which means many supermarkets will have different opening hours.

Supermarkets in the UK are now warning customers that many of their stores will be closed over the Bank Holiday weekend as government rules dictate that any location larger than 280 square metres must close on Easter Sunday.

General opening times may also differ on Saturday and Monday as supermarkets may be operating with reduced staff who are also given a chance to enjoy the bank holiday.

This means it is a good idea for those looking to celebrate this Easter weekend to know when they will be able to buy the essentials and ensure they aren’t too late. Here is a list of when the major UK supermarkets are operating this Easter:
