Easter 2023 supermarket opening times in Northern Ireland: When Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s open

It can be hard keeping track of time over a four day weekend so many people in Northern Ireland will be visiting the supermarkets over Easter to ensure the cupboards are well stocked. Supermarket opening times tend to change on bank holidays  so it is important to note down when your local supermarket is open over the holidays in case you forget the necessities.

This year, Good Friday will take place on April 7, with Easter Sunday scheduled on April 9 and Easter Monday on April 10. Both Friday and Monday are bank holidays, meaning the majority of people will be off work to enable them to spend time with their loved ones.

Opening hours for each supermarket will vary over the Easter period so it is important to check your local branch before you travel. On the whole, supermarkets will be closed on Easter Sunday, as this is widely regarded as a day of rest.

If you’ve left your Easter egg shopping to the last minute, there’s no need to panic as we’ve put together a list of supermarket opening times over the Easter bank holiday weekend in Northern Ireland to ensure you can get all the treats you need ahead of the big day.
