When is your local supermarket open this Easter?

Households are being urged to check the opening times of their local supermarket during the Easter bank holiday weekend.

Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Asda, Tesco and Waitrose are among the supermarkets that are changing their opening times to mark the holiday.

Due to Easter Sunday trading laws in England and Wales, many large stores are required to close at particular times.

The Easter bank holiday weekend lasts from Friday, April 3 to Monday, April 6.
