Tesco opening times for King Charles III Coronation: See if shops will open this weekend

Tesco shoppers might be wondering if their local supermarket will be open during the Coronation of King Charles III this weekend.

The actual ceremony will take place on Saturday (May 6) with the following Monday (May 8) having been declared a bank holiday.

When there is a bank holiday, some supermarkets tend to open under reduced opening times.

Tesco has more than 4,000 stores across the UK, so opening times will vary - but here is our rough guide on when you can expect shops to open.

To be absolutely sure of when your nearest branch will open, use the online Tesco store finder tool.

Tesco opening times over King Charles III coronation weekend

Tesco told The Mirror its stores will operate with normal trading hours this Saturday (May 6) and Sunday (May 7).

For larger sites, this means they'll open at either 6am or 7am and shut anywhere between 10pm and midnight on Saturday.

Then on Sundays, most larger sites will open at 10am until 4pm.

Larger stores in Scotland are allowed to open for longer, and normally operate at either 8am or 9am and close between 10pm and midnight.

Tesco Express stores typically open at 6am or 7am and close between 10pm and 11pm.

On the bank holiday Monday (May 8) most Tesco stores will open from 8am to 6pm. Some may be open until 8pm.

Tesco stores will then go back to their normal operating hours on the Tuesday (May 9).

Tesco shoppers should be aware that the supermarket has just made some major changes to its online delivery service.

The supermarket this week has increased the minimum amount you need to spend and subsequent charge if you go below this amount.

Tesco used to charge £4 if the value of your home delivery shop is below £40.

But as of today (May 2) this fee has gone up to £5 and you now need to spend a minimum of £50.

If you spend above £50 anyway, these changes won't affect you.

The minimum order fee of £25 for click and collect shoppers will remain the same.

Tesco shoppers will also get less money for their Clubcard points when redeemed with a "Rewards Partner" from June 14.

Shoppers will only to double the value of their Clubcard points, rather than triple them as they currently do.

For example, if you have 500 points, this would normally be worth £5 to spend in Tesco stores - but use them with a "Rewards Partner" and they'd be worth £15.

But after June 14, they'll only be worth double their original value, so £10 for 500 points.
