May 1 marks the Early May Bank Holiday with this one the first of three in May owing to the King's Coronation and the Spring Bank Holiday later on in the month.
A three-day weekend means extra time off work for some of us but supermarket workers will still be required to work today despite it being a bank holiday.
Different supermarkets have different rules on opening times when it comes to bank holidays, with some larger stores shutting earlier and smaller shops staying open to allow people to get any last-minute items they may have missed off their shopping lists.

With that in mind, it's handy to know which stores are open and which ones are shut. We've compiled a list detailing the supermarket opening times for the so-called 'big six' major UK supermarkets - Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi and Sainsbury's - as well as M&S and Waitrose.
Here are the opening times for these supermarkets today on Bank Holiday Monday:
Asda
The majority of Asda stores will remain open from 8am to 8pm today. However, some may change their opening hours because of the bank holiday, with people urged to check the website for details about specific stores.
Sainsbury's
In England and Wales, Sainsbury's superstores will stay open for less time on May 1. Most say they will open at 8am and shut 12 hours later at 8pm.
Sainsbury's Local stores, however, should open around 7am and stay open much later until around 10pm or 11pm. You can check your local store's opening times here.
