Sainsbury's Easter 2023 opening times including Good Friday and Easter Sunday

Like other UK major supermarkets, Sainsbury's will be closing some of its stores over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

On Easter Sunday, which falls on April 9 this year, 600 of Sainsbury's larger stores across England and Wales will be closed for the day.

This is in line with UK law, which says stores in England and Wales that are larger than 280 square metres have to close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.

The rules are also different in Scotland where larger businesses are able to remain open.

Sainsbury's will be keeping its Scottish stores open on Easter Sunday and will be operating under Sunday trading hours.

Its smaller 800 UK-wide convenience stores will remain open as usual from 7am to 10pm.

On Good Friday, Sainsbury's stores will be open as normal on Good Friday and Easter Saturday.

Stores generally open from 6am until 11pm - although it does vary across the country.

This gives you plenty of time to grab your last minute Easter eggs, hot cross buns and Easter roast essentials.

All Sainsbury's stores will be back open to the public on Easter Monday however, some sites will be operating with different opening hours.

The larger stores are expected to open from 8am until 8pm, including those that would normally open 7am-11pm.

The supermarket's convenience stores will be open under their normal hours on Monday which usually consists of opening at 7am and closing at 11pm.

However, these opening hours are not guaranteed and will vary depending upon your location.

As always, before heading down you should check your local's openings times and you can do this by using Sainsbury's store locator on its website.

This will indicate the size of your local store and whether it be open or closed as a result.

To help customers this year, Sainsbury’s is selling a range of ready-to-cook roasts and main courses available from now until Tuesday, April 18.

Sainsbury's has cut the price of its carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and swede to just 19p.

You can find all of these offers on Sainsbury's dedicated page on its website under "Easter Dining".
