Tesco opening hours for the late May bank holiday weekend

Tesco supermarkets will be open as normal over the long weekend, but some may close earlier on bank holiday Monday.

Opening hours vary between branches so if you are planning on visiting a shop, it's worth checking the Tesco online store finder first to see opening hours at your local branch.

Monday, May 25

Monday is a bank holiday but shops will open as usual.

Opening times depend on the branch but some shops will be closing earlier.

When we checked most stores were opening at 8am and closing at 6pm or 8pm. This is instead of remaining open until 10pm or 11pm.

Tesco has just under 4,000 shops in the UK.

The shop has introduced special slots for NHS workers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays between 9am and 10am.

Sunday is just a browsing hour before the checkouts open at 10am.

Any healthcare worker wishing to shop in these special slots will need to show a form of ID, such as their NHS staff card.
