EASTER is just around the corner, which means a lovely long weekend for most of us Brits.

But the Bank Holidays mean there will be some disruption to our favourite supermarkets' opening hours.

Most chains are operating on bank holiday hours for much of the weekend but there are some changes to note before you head out over the long weekend.

Chains won't be able to open on Easter Sunday, meaning our hard working supermarket staff should all get a well-deserved day off too.

Here are the opening hours for the major supermarkets in and around Harwich this Easter:

Asda

Asda has its main supermarket on Main Road, Dovercourt.

The firm has announced it will be closed on Easter Sunday.

  • Good Friday - 7am - 10pm
