Bank Holiday Supermarket Opening Times Guide

Bank Holiday Monday is the perfect opportunity for a long-awaited BBQ, a family gathering, or simply stocking up for the week ahead. But before you head out the door, it's crucial to know if your local supermarket will be open.

Opening hours across major UK retailers like Tesco, Asda, and Lidl will vary significantly from their usual schedules. While many larger stores will operate reduced Sunday trading hours, some smaller Express and Local branches will open as normal. It's always best to check your local store's specific times using the online store finders provided by each retailer.
