May Day Bank Holiday 2021 supermarket closing hours

The first of the May bank holidays is here, and we couldn’t be more excited. Now we can welcome over six friends or family members, this weekend is set to be a good one.

If you’ve forgotten that this weekend is in fact a bank holiday, and your fridge is looking a little empty, fear not as all major supermarkets will be open this weekend and on Monday - just with slightly reduced trading hours.

So if you need some picnic nibbles, ice for those all important bevvies or just some BBQ meats - your favourite supermarket will be open for everything you need.

To make sure you're not left empty handed and hungry, we've put together a full list of the opening times below of all the major supermarkets.

Should you be keen to crack on with some DIY and home improvements this weekend, we also have a list of when your local Wickes, B&Q, Argos and more will be open. You can find all of that information, here.
