Sainsbury's has revealed that shutters will be pulled on 600 larger stores across England and Wales - with Aldi announcing the same action for 890 outlets. Morrisons is also set to close it's bigger superstores for the day come April 9.

The Mirror reports that meanwhile in Scotland, which is governed under different rules, larger stores will be able to also operate in a usual fashion. All of the aforementioned UK supermarkets are set to open on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday - but it's worth checking your local shop to see if they have any special hours of operation in place across the Bank Holiday.
Other supermarkets are also yet to release their Easter schedule, and it's again worth checking online to see if they update customers with changes closer to the time.
