Easter 2020 supermarket opening hours - when are shops open on Easter Monday?

If you're heading out on Easter Monday checking opening times before leaving the house is a must.

Whether you're craving some more Easter eggs or need some essentials for the week ahead, most supermarkets will be operating different opening times to normal.

Many chains including Tesco, Waitrose, Iceland and Asda have already adjusted their opening hours due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Most chains are also implementing special access to both frontline NHS workers and vulnerable and elderly customers throughout the lockdown. There are also some that have restrictions around purchasing certain goods to prevent stockpiling and panic buying.

If you're unsure what the situation at your local chain is, we'd recommend checking online for accurate opening and closing times, or have a browse at our guide below.
