Easter Weekend is almost upon us, which will mean four days of freedom - for most.
However, the Bank Holiday may mean it can be tricky to just pop out to pick up any last-minute essentials.
For most large supermarkets and stores, there will be a reduced service – with the majority closed for the day on Easter Sunday.
Here’s a breakdown to help you through the weekend:

Easter Sunday 16th April – All supermarket stores will be closed, though all Express stores will remain open
Easter Monday 17th April – All supermarkets will be open from 9am to 6pm while Express stores will be opening at their normal hours.
Most smaller, express stores will be open throughout the whole weekend, including Sunday. It is advised that people look at the store checker for more detailed information about their local store.
