The August bank holiday is upon us, and whether you’re planning a summer day out enjoying a few extra hours of kip, many of us will be planning to make the most of the day off.
This year, the bank holiday falls on Monday, August 29.
Some might be hoping to call some friends over for a sunny BBQ, but can you still pop to the shops and stock up on burger buns, bottles of beer or even just essentials?
Generally, bank holiday hours vary depending on individual supermarket shops, but there is usually a guide to opening hours – as well as a way to check your local store’s times.
Here’s when Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and other supermarkets will be open over the bank holiday weekend.
Tesco bank holiday opening hours 2022
Tesco will generally be open at standard times throughout the bank holiday weekend.
Some shops might operate shorter hours on Sunday, but many Express stores will keep standard hours – with some Xtra (large) shops opening at 10am and closing at 4pm on Monday.
Each individual store might be operating different opening hours – so it’s advisable to check the Tesco store locator to confirm when your nearest shop is open – as this will show you the bank holiday times for your local.
