What shops are open on Saturday over the Easter bank holiday?
Happy Easter! With Good Friday here, Brits are looking forward to a nice, long weekend.
Maybe you’re just enjoying a long bank holiday weekend out in the garden or getting some jobs done around the house, or perhaps you’re observing the more religious aspects of the occasion.
However you’re spending it, there’s every possibility you’ll need to pop out to the shops at some point, for hot cross buns, Easter eggs, or DIY bits.
We know that Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are special days, but what about the Saturday that lands in between? Are opening times different on this day too?
We take a look at what shops are expected to be open…
