In less than a week Easter will be upon us, which means loads of chocolate, family time, and yummy food. 

And if you were planning on having the family over for a big Easter meal then you'll need to take a trip to your local supermarket. 

But with Easter being a religious holiday, many supermarkets will have different opening hours to work with the bank holidays and to give staff a well-earned rest.

And so you don't get caught out by the change in hours we've broken them each down for you. 

Although some stores have not shared their opening hours yet, we looked at each of their websites and based the hours on the information provided.
