There are two Bank Holidays this weekend and they are Good Friday, which falls on April 8, and Easter Monday, which is April 10.

Just like at Christmas and New Year, shopping hours differ and it's worth knowing about those changes in case you need to pick up some last-minute Easter eggs, hot cross buns or roast dinner bits.

Mirror Money has rounded up the Bank Holiday opening times for the major UK supermarkets including Aldi, Tesco, and Asda over the Easter weekend so you know your local shop will be open.
