ICELAND shoppers will be keen to know opening hours over the Easter bank holidays.

Some shops and supermarkets reduce hours on public holidays to give staff some much-needed time off and due to trading laws.

That means Iceland may change its hours across many of its stores over Easter.

Iceland has almost 1,000 stores nationwide and is one of the most popular supermarkets in the UK.

When will Iceland be open over Easter?

Most Iceland stores are usually open from 7am or 8am until 7pm, and in some cities, stores are open until 9pm.

Iceland stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will all close on Easter Sunday, while Scottish branches will stay open.

Regular opening hours will apply for Easter Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday, apart from shopping centre branches.

You can use the store locator tool on Iceland’s website to find the opening times for your nearest branch.

What are other businesses doing?

Several other supermarkets have confirmed they will be closing their doors on Easter Sunday.

This is typically due to trading laws which state that shops over 280sq metres in size have to remain shut on the bank holiday.

Aldi and Lidl will pull down the shutters on all of their shops in England and Wales.

Meanwhile, all of Tesco’s larger stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be closed.

The same applies to Asda’s larger stores, as well as all of Morrisons shops.

All Sainsbury’s larger UK stores will also be closed on Easter Sunday, barring its Scottish branches which will open as normal, and its Local stores which will be open as usual from 7am to 10pm.
