Mainly, members of the public are interested in knowing the opening hours for supermarkets over this period.
Quite a few will reduce their hours on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, such as Asda and Tesco.
Meanwhile, some will close entirely on Easter Sunday, such as with the likes of Aldi and Lidl this year.
Any shop bigger than 280 square metres must be closed on Easter Sunday by law, The Metro reports.
This is according to government rules on retailers’ trading hours in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Scotland is the exception, where many stores will remain open, operating under Sunday trading hours.
As a result, many larger supermarkets will be shut on Easter Sunday before opening up for slightly adjusted hours on Easter Monday.
However, some might not be so familiar with the schedules of food outlets like McDonald’s and how they operate over this Easter weekend.
Is McDonald’s open on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday?
The vast majority of McDonald’s stores around the UK will be open on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
Many will be operating on their normal hours for a Sunday and Monday, but there may be slight variations depending on the branch.
There’s no standard opening time for McDonald’s in the UK, so it’s best to check your local restaurant’s specific hours using their branch finder.
If you do fancy heading to a McDonald’s on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday, there are a few new items that have been released this year.
