The Easterbank holiday weekend is almost upon us, and many Britons are looking forward to a long few days off.
However, if you haven’t already done your big supermarket shop for the next four days, it may be a good idea to check the supermarket opening times over Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
Some supermarkets will be open as normal across most of the days, while others will follow bank holiday opening times, which means shorter hours.
