  • Major chains have now posted Good Friday hours for April 3, with typical windows such as Tesco 6am–10pm, Asda 7am–10pm and Aldi 8am–9pm.
  • By law, large shops over 280 square metres in England and Wales will be closed on Easter Sunday, while most Scottish branches can open.
  • Convenience formats such as Tesco Express, Sainsbury’s Local and Co-op often trade on Sunday with usual hours, but times vary by branch.
