Major UK supermarkets have confirmed their opening hours for the Easter weekend, including Good Friday on April 3, 2026. Shoppers are advised to check local store times as variations may apply across different branches.
Tesco will open most large Express stores from 8am to 6pm, while standard Express stores remain unchanged. Sainsbury's plans to open the majority of its stores from 7am to 11pm on both Good Friday and Easter Saturday.
Asda encourages customers to use its store locator for exact times, and all its filling stations will operate throughout the weekend with pay-at-pump facilities. Aldi suggests the quietest shopping periods are between 8am and 9am or later in the evening.
Marks & Spencer advises checking its store locator for individual branch hours and notes a special Easter Dine-In range launching on Wednesday, April 1, running until Sunday, April 5. Waitrose also recommends using its branch finder for accurate times.
Customers are reminded to verify local store hours online before travelling, as trading times may differ from standard schedules.
