Good Friday is a strange beast, isn’t it? It’s a public holiday in the UK, which means banks close, post offices shut, and your usual Saturday morning routine might need a rethink. But here’s the good news: supermarkets, including Morrisons, often stay open—just on different hours. Think of it as a mini adventure, not a hurdle!
Morrisons, bless them, knows that a bank holiday doesn’t mean your stomach takes a day off. You’ll usually find their doors open, but with reduced hours—often 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., or sometimes a little shorter. Check your local store online, though, because variations happen like a wild Easter bunny. The key is planning, not panicking.
The Fun Part: What You Can Actually Buy
Imagine this: you stroll into Morrisons on Good Friday, and the crowd is lighter because everyone else is still panicking at home. It’s a secret-shopper’s dream! You can grab your hot cross buns, a leg of lamb for Sunday, and maybe those fancy Easter eggs you’ve been eyeing. Yes, the bakery is usually open, so the smell of fresh bread? Pure joy.
And here’s a cheeky bonus: because it’s a holiday, you might find reduced-price flowers or special deals on Easter treats. Who doesn’t love a bargain while feeling smugly prepared? Plus, the staff are often in a cheerful mood—they’re on holiday pay, right? So smile, ask where the crème eggs are, and be a bright spark in their day.
