THE long Easter weekend means the major supermarkets will be changing their opening hours - so shoppers should be aware of when their local shop will be open.

There are two bank holidays to note down in your diary.

Good Friday falls on March 29 this year, followed by Easter Sunday on March 31 and then Easter Monday on April 1. Shop opening times may be different on these days.

In fact, UK trading laws specify that large shops have to close on Easter Sunday.

Many supermarkets have warned customers of store closures over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Government rules mean stores across England and Wales larger than 280 square metres are forced to close on Easter Sunday.

Most shops will remain open on Good Friday and Easter Monday, both of which are bank holidays, but some with changed opening hours.

We have put together a guide with information on when stores are open.
