We only have a few days left to get all the Christmas shopping sorted.

So to help you get your life in order, we’ve pulled together key opening times for supermarkets in Manchester over the holidays.

Many are running extended opening hours in the run-up to the big day, followed by shorter hours and closures on some big holidays, and this is particularly apparent on Boxing Day, when many more supermarkets will shut to give their staff a break after a turbulent couple of years.

Bear in mind that all of these are subject to change and should be checked on each supermarket’s website.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Tesco has plans to keep over 370 of its large stores open for 24 hours a day over the Christmas period in the run-up for Christmas Day.

Between 20 December and Christmas Eve, hundreds of stores will be open at all hours to help shoppers get their shopping done before the big day, but opening hours may vary by store – with customers advised to use the store locator to find specific opening times.

However, Tesco has said all its stores will close at 7pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, with the exception of Express stores, which will remain open until 10pm on both dates.

All of the chain’s stores will close on Christmas Day and all Tesco Extra stores and superstores will keep to Sunday opening hours on Boxing Day – with most Express stores open from 9am to 7pm on 26 December.

On New Year’s Day, most stores will be open between 8am to 6pm, except for its Express stores, which will close at 10pm.
