Lidl will be closing all of its stores this Easter Sunday and has shared its opening times for the Easter bank holiday weekend.
The discount supermarket chain will be opening its doors as normal across England and Wales on Good Friday and Saturday with doors open until 10pm.
Doors will be closed on Sunday for every Lidl site, and then will reopen again on Bank Holiday Monday at 8am.
Lidl will be shutting a little earlier than normal at 8pm rather than 10pm.
Scottish Lidl stores will be open as normal on Easter Sunday.
However, as always the supermarket chain has said some store opening times may vary and customers should check the store finder on Lidl’s website, for details on their local.
It may not seem like news that Lidl will be closing its doors on Easter Sunday, as under UK Law in England and Wales, stores which are larger than 280 square metres have to close on Easter and Christmas Day.
The rules are also different in Scotland where larger businesses can remain open.
This means supermarkets with superstores such as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons do have to shut all of their largest sites.
However, as Lidl stores are usually smaller than this they have the option to keep their doors open.
Aldi has also done the same this year and will close all of its 890 England and Wales stores on Easter Sunday - Scottish Aldi sites will also remain open.
Sainsbury's will be closing its 600 big stores in England and Wales, and Morrisons, Asda, and Tesco will be doing the same.
Tesco's express stores and the majority of Morrisons convenience stores will be opening on Easter Sunday.
Again, Scottish stores for all these supermarkets are to remain open on Easter Sunday.
The german discount chain has also advised shoppers of the quietest times of the day for its stores which will help those wanting to avoid the Easter rushes.
The chain said that over one million shoppers entered its stores over the Easter period last year.
Lidl says its supermarkets are at their quietest over the Easter holidays last year was on the weekdays between when they open at 8am until 10am.
Sites then get busy throughout the day until 6pm onwards when they settled down again.
Lidl said Saturday was the busiest day for shopping, with stores seeing the highest levels of footfall between 10am-1pm, before starting to quieten down in the afternoon.
