Leeds Easter supermarket opening times 2023 for Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and Lidl

The Easter holidays are finally here and with that, and the extra-long Bank Holiday weekends, comes some ranges to our supermarkets usual opening times. So if you have plans to stock up for your Easter feast, or get your hands on some treats this is worth taking note of.

As with all big holidays in the UK and bank holidays customers will have to be prepared so they don't get caught out by closures and changes in opening times - and you can spend time with your friends and family like you want to.

Times like Easter and Christmas bring in rules for supermarkets on how long they can open for. Smaller shops are usually less affected but major retail giants often have to alter their hours over these periods.

Good Friday falls on April 7 this year with Easter Monday on April 10 so many of the big retail giants will be changing their hours over the long Easter weekend to accommodate the two bank holidays.

Hundreds of major supermarkets will shut the doors on Easter Sunday but will be open on varying time scales throughout Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.

Below we have a look at all the major UK supermarkets and opening times over the Easter weekend.

Aldi

On Good Friday, April 7, and Easter Saturday, April 8, Aldi supermarkets will be open as normal, from 8am to 10pm. Aldi supermarkets will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 9. On Easter Monday, April 10, they will reopen from 8am to 8pm.

Morrisons

Morrisons supermarkets will be shut in England on Easter Sunday. Opening times on the other days will likely be from around 7am until around 9pm or 10pm at night, again this will vary from store to store but you can check your local branch here.

Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's is pretty much open as normal over the Easter bank holiday with the exception of Easter Sunday, which will see larger stores in England close their doors for one day.

However, smaller Sainsbury's Local stores will be open from 6am to 11pm, this does vary across the country so it's always worth checking your local branch here.

Tesco

Tesco stores will be open on Good Friday between 6am and 10pm. All stores will then be closed on Easter Sunday. Stores will then be back open on Easter Monday with varying opening times.

Some larger stores have announced that they will be open between 8am and 6pm on Easter Monday.

Asda

On Good Friday and Easter Monday most stores will be open from 7am until around 10pm. However, this could be a slightly early time of 8am on the Monday.

Saturday hours will also be largely the same with stores open between 7am and 10pm. All stores will be closed on Easter Sunday to give staff a well-earned day off. However, this does not include shops in Scotland which will stay open.

  • Sunday, April 9 - CLOSED
  • Monday, April 10 - 7am-8pm
