As Easter approaches, major UK supermarkets including Sainsbury's will adjust their opening hours for Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Under UK law, large shops (280 square metres or larger) in England and Wales must close on Easter Sunday, while smaller stores can choose their own hours. On Easter Monday, a bank holiday, larger stores may open but often operate on reduced, Sunday-style hours.
Sainsbury's stores will follow these regulations, with most large branches closed on Easter Sunday and opening with amended hours on Easter Monday. Customers are advised to check their local store's specific times, as variations may occur. For example, Sainsbury's in Manchester city centre may have different hours than those in suburban areas.
Other supermarkets such as Aldi, Asda, Tesco, M&S, Lidl, Morrisons, and Waitrose will also have altered schedules. Morrisons, for instance, plans to open from 7am to 8pm on Easter Monday. Shoppers should verify details for their nearest store to avoid inconvenience during the holiday weekend.
