Your support makes all the difference.Britons are getting a second bank holiday weekend in a row, as the coronation weekend of King Charles III arrives right after the early May bank holiday last week.
Monday 1 May was the early May bank holiday, while Buckingham Palace announced last year that Monday 8 May would also be a bank holiday to give the country an extra day to celebrate the coronation.
With Big Lunches and street parties planned for the following one, British people have plenty to look forward to this weekend.
However, it could also mean closures across some supermarkets on more days than usual.
Many people will be looking to stock up for the long weekend and ensure they have plenty of food and drink for gatherings, parties, or just to relax with.
Here are the opening times for Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison, Lidl and more.
