With Easter Sunday almost upon us, it\u2019s time to lay out your plans for the weekend \u2013 top of the list, what food you\u2019ll be eating. The hallmarks of the springtime holiday have arrived: weather warming up, days becoming longer, and the seasonal delights from the best hot cross buns<\/a> to the best Easter eggs <\/a>springing up on our supermarket shelves. <\/p>\n

Planning a big Easter feast or just popping out for a last-minute chocolate fix? It\u2019s always worth double-checking supermarket opening times before you leave the house. The bank holiday weekend often brings reduced or revised hours, and there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than turning up to closed doors.<\/p>\n

To make things easier, we\u2019ve rounded up the latest Easter opening times for the UK\u2019s major supermarkets, from Good Friday through to Easter Monday. Just bear in mind that hours can vary by location, especially for smaller convenience stores, so it\u2019s a good idea to check with your local branch before setting off.<\/p>\n
