A four-day weekend with two bank holidays is an ideal time for many to relax. But if you need to pay a trip to your local supermarket you might not find it as straightforward as usual.

For in the mix along with reduced hours that you often find over bank holidays, most supermarkets are banned from opening on Easter Sunday under UK trading laws.

Under government rules all large supermarkets must close on Easter Sunday - and Christmas Day - but that is not the same for the other bank holidays. This means there is a mixture of opening hours with some supermarkets operating for reduced hours while others are open as usual.

We have compiled a round-up of the opening hours of all the major supermarkets. While it is best to check directly with your local store for individual opening times using the store locator tools below - these are the rules for most of the branches in the major supermarket chains.
