Tesco Easter Opening Hours – Good Friday (April 18, 2025)
If you’re planning to do some shopping this Easter weekend, it’s a good idea to know Tesco’s opening hours
—especially on Good Friday, which falls on April 18, 2025.
Here’s everything you need to know in a simple and clear way:
Are Tesco stores open on Good Friday?
Yes, Tesco stores are open on Good Friday, but the hours might be slightly different from normal days. It’s a public holiday in many parts of the UK, so Tesco usually reduces its hours, especially for its larger stores.
Tesco Superstore & Extra (Big stores)
-
Most big Tesco stores will be open from around 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Good Friday.
-
These stores usually reduce their hours slightly to give their staff time off for the holiday.
-
Some locations might open a bit later or close a bit earlier, depending on local rules.
Tesco Express (Smaller convenience stores)
-
Tesco Express stores generally stay open as normal on Good Friday.
-
Typical hours: 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM (or later in some areas).
-
Great if you just need to grab a few essentials!
Location matters
-
In England and Wales: Most stores follow the reduced hours (like 6 AM – 10 PM).
-
In Scotland: Good Friday is not a public holiday in many areas, so Tesco stores may operate normal hours.
-
In Northern Ireland: Stores usually open, but with more limited hours—check locally.
How to check your local Tesco store’s hours?
Because hours can vary by location, it’s best to double-check before you head out.
