Laws around opening hours affect which shops and stores will be allowed to open their doors
It's Easter weekend, meaning millions of people will enjoy a four-day break thanks to Good Friday and Easter Monday.
However, laws are in place that limit certain retailers being able to open on Easter Sunday. According to the government small shops - that are up to 280 square metres in size - in England and Wales can open any day or hour. There are no trading hours restrictions in Scotland.Stores over 280 square metres in size must close on Easter Sunday. This means big retailers such as large supermarkets have to close by law.
This means while most large Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons and M&S supermarkets will be closed, express and convenience stores will be able to open. It is worth checking your local supermarket's opening hours to check.
