Easter holiday supermarket time: Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Sainsbury's and more


Easter weekend of four days has arrived, which means that many supermarkets will have different opening schedules.

Supermarkets in the United Kingdom now warn customers that many of their stores will be closed during the bank weekend, since the government rules dictate that any place of more than 280 square meters must close on Easter Sunday.

General opening schedules can also differ on Saturdays and Mondays, since supermarkets can be operating with reduced personnel who also have the opportunity to enjoy the bank holiday.

This means that it is a good idea that those who seek to celebrate this Easter weekend know when they can buy the essential and make sure they are not too late. Here is a list of when the main supermarkets of the United Kingdom are operating this Easter:
