Sainsbury's opening times for King Charles III Coronation: When will shops be open?

King Charles III will be officially crowned later this week and an additional bank holiday has been introduced to celebrate - this means supermarkets will be adjusting their opening times.

The Coronation bank holiday falls next Monday (May 8), whilst the official Coronation day is on Saturday (May 6).

If you need to make a last-minute supermarket run to Sainsbury's ahead of the big day, we explain what opening times you can expect.

Sainsbury's has over 600 supermarkets and 800 convenience stores across the UK.

As opening times can vary, you should always check Sainsbury's online opening times tool first to see the exact opening hours for your local store.

Sainsbury's opening times over King Charles III coronation weekend

Sainsbury's superstores will be open as normal over the weekend with its opening hours only changing on Monday (May 8).

On Saturday, the day of King Charles' Coronation, Sainsbury's superstores will be open at either 6am or 7am and will shut at either 10pm or 11pm.

On Sunday (May 7) Sainsbury's stores in England and Wales will be open from 10am to 4pm.

However, Scottish Sainsbury's stores are open longer from 8am until 8pm with some open until 10pm on Sunday.

When the bank holiday arrives on Monday, superstores in England and Wales will open under slightly shorter hours.

Sainsbury's told The Mirror that the majority of its stores will be open from 8am until 8pm.

When we checked, stores in Scotland appeared to be open for longer

Sainsbury’s Local convenience stores are usually open from 7am until either 10pm or 11pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and this will stay the same over the Coronation bank holiday weekend.

The change in opening times for the bank holiday comes after Sainsbury's introduced new Nectar Prices as part of a huge shake-up of its loyalty scheme.

Customers with a loyalty card will get exclusive discounts on hundreds of items - in a move that is identical to Tesco's Clubcard Prices.

As an example of the new deals, customers get a third off Heinz Baked Beans, paying 95p instead of £1.40.

Shoppers can also save on Ariel All-in-1 pods, which cost £5 instead of £10.50 at the supermarket.

Sainsbury's has also introduced "Pocket Friendly Prices" on household essentials such as chicken breast fillets, butter and cherry tomatoes across its Local stores.

The new signage will help customers locate the cheaper everyday products in its convenience stores, and in turn help them save money.
