UK supermarkets, including Sainsbury’s, Asda and Aldi, have warned customers of store closures over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Government rules mean stores across England and Wales larger than 280 square metres are forced to close on Easter Sunday.

Most shops will remain open on Good Friday and Easter Monday, both bank holidays.

But to avoid doubt, these are the opening times of the majority of supermarkets in England and Wales across the Easter weekend.
