Summer bank holidays are great for getting your loved ones together, especially when the weather is on your side too.

But the last one of summer is now less than a week away, with Monday August 26 marking final public holiday we can all enjoy until Christmas.

And one of the most frustrating things about a bank holiday for last-minute shoppers is the reduced supermarket opening times, especially if you've left all your party prep to the last minute.

So to make sure you stay on top of your shopping, here's a guide to the supermarket opening hours of some of the UK's most popular supermarkets this weekend.
