While the VE Day bank holiday is now a distant memory, we’ve got another bank holiday to look forward to.

The Spring bank holiday takes place on Monday 25 May, offering most of us across the UK a long weekend.

This is how supermarket opening hours could be affected.

Tesco

Tesco opening hours are dependent on the type of store you visit.

Some Tesco superstores are operating shorter opening hours over the bank holiday weekend, between 8am and 6pm rather than the usual 8am to 10pm.

Most smaller express stores are still operating their usual hours, which vary from store to store. You can check your local branch’s opening times using Tesco’s store locator tool.

You should be aware that on Fridays, Tesco operates a dedicated shopping hour for elderly and vulnerable customers between 9am and 10am.

Sainsbury’s

Some Sainsbury’s stores are operating seasonal hours for the Spring bank holiday, opening between 8am and closing at 8pm.

Other stores, however, are unaffected by the bank holiday and are operating their usual opening times.

Opening times can vary from store to store, so make sure you double check your branch opening times using Sainsbury’s store locator tool.

You should be aware that on Fridays, Sainsbury’s operates a dedicated shopping hour between 8am and 9am for elderly and disabled customers.

From Monday to Saturday, between 7:30am and 8am is also reserved for NHS and social care workers.
