Supermarket shoppers are expected to face some disruption over the bank holiday weekend as the Easter celebrations kick off in the UK.

While families rustle up Sunday roasts and chomp through as many chocolate eggs as humanly possible, retailers will also be taking some time off across the four-day break.

Here's a full list of opening times for all the major supermarket brands, including Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Tesco and more.
