Easter 2025 supermarket hours: Opening and closing times for major stores - including Tesco, Aldi & Asda
As another long weekend approaches thanks to the Easter holiday, people across the country may take advantage of the time off by stocking up on groceries.
As a big holiday in many countries including the UK, it is helpful to know in advance whether or not supermarkets will actually be open though.
Some supermarkets and other businesses decide to close for some or all of the bank holiday weekend so staff can spend the day with their families as they observe the festivity. Therefore, it is important to double-check ahead of time because not all businesses adhere to the same schedule.
There are a number of ways you can check opening times this Easter, which falls on April 20 this year, including through their online store locators. However, keep in mind many people will be wanting to do their grocery shopping on the bank holiday so it may be busier than usual so you could be better off choosing an off-peak time to fill your trolley.
Here, we have compiled a number of major supermarkets in the UK and their opening times so you can plan your shopping accordingly. Please note opening times vary depending on location so make sure to check your local branch before travelling.
