As Easter approaches, shoppers across the UK are reminded that large supermarkets, including Lidl, will have altered opening hours over the bank holiday weekend. Under trading laws in England and Wales, stores over 280 square metres must close on Easter Sunday, while Easter Monday sees many retailers operating reduced hours.
Lidl stores will be closed on Easter Sunday, in line with legal requirements. On Easter Monday, opening times will vary by location, with many branches likely to follow Sunday-style hours. Customers are advised to check their local store's specific schedule online before visiting.
For reference, the Lidl store at Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester will serve as an example of typical Easter Monday hours, though exact times may differ elsewhere. The chain encourages shoppers to use its store locator tool for precise information.
Other major supermarkets such as Aldi, Asda, Tesco, M&S, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Sainsbury’s also have varying hours over the Easter period. As always, it is best to confirm individual store timings in advance to avoid disappointment.
