February bank holiday opening hours for Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi, Lidl and Supervalu

The first ever February bank holiday weekend is upon us, and for those thinking about getting their grocery shopping there are a few changes to be aware of.

This new bank holiday was established to celebrate Imbolc and St Brigid's Day, falling on the first Monday in every February. Whatever you’re doing this weekend, it’s likely that you’ll need to go to the shop - but there might be changes to the hours of your local supermarket this weekend.

Some places will simply operate Sunday hours on the bank holiday Monday while others will have complete changes. Here's a full breakdown on the opening hours for the bank holiday in Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Supervalu and Marks & Spencer stores.
