UK Supermarkets Publish Varied Opening Times for Spring Bank Holiday

Retailers have issued different, branch-level hours that shoppers should check because high demand from half-term and hot weather could leave some stores busier or closed earlier than usual.

Overview

  • Several chains confirmed bank-holiday hours for Monday 25 May with Aldi saying it will open 8am–8pm and M&S food halls typically 8:30am–6pm.
  • Tesco has told customers that hours will vary by location with many large England and Wales stores trading 8am–6pm and some Scottish outlets running longer hours.
  • Morrisons said most of its large supermarkets in England and Wales will open 7am–8pm while smaller Morrisons Daily and many convenience formats will keep normal hours.
  • Reports differ on Asda’s schedule because most outlets state 8am–8pm but at least one publication gave a 10am–5pm time, so local store locators are the definitive source.
  • Shoppers should check each retailer’s online store finder before travelling because branch-level variation, separate Scottish rules and the forecast heatwave will raise demand for groceries and BBQ supplies.
