As with every national and bank holiday, whether it be Christmas, Easter or May Day, supermarkets operate at different opening hours in order to accommodate time for staff to have some time off and celebrate.
That is still the case in 2022 when it comes to the four-day bank holiday weekend for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.
