This weekend we are being treated to another Bank Holiday with the annual May Bank Holiday taking place on May 2.

That means an extra day to relax, see friends and family and plan a day filled with all your favourite things. 

Whether you plan on having a big get-together and hoping for BBQ weather or plan to spend the day out and about there's one thing you'll need to check. 

With many supermarkets changing their regular opening times so they can give staff extra well-earned break. 

But so you don't get caught out by the change in hours we've broken them each down for you.
