Supermarket opening times for May 2024 spring bank holiday weekend

Supermarket opening times for May 2024 spring bank holiday weekend – full list

Posted by Admin May 21, 2024 Shopping

The Spring bank holiday is on the horizon promising a long weekend break for many but it also means changes in opening times for some places including supermarkets.

A bank holiday is a national public holiday and a chance for some shop staff to take a well-earned break, which means many stores will be operating shorter opening hours.

Most major supermarkets will alter their opening and closing hours on Monday 27 May to account for the bank holiday.

We take a look which supermarkets are open and when over the bank holiday weekend.

Tesco

Tesco stores across the UK will remain open during the bank holiday weekend, but opening hours will vary depending on location and store type. Larger stores will be open from 8am – 8pm on bank holiday Monday in Scotland and from 7am – 11.59pm on the Monday in Northern Ireland.
