If you are thinking of heading out for some leisurely shopping this weekend across Bradford, you might want to check when shopping centres are open, as the first bank holiday of the year arrives.

Easter is upon us, meaning many will be getting ready to enjoy the first long weekend of the year.

But whether you need to do last-minute birthday shopping, find a new outfit for a night out or fancy a bite to eat, some shopping centres have altered their usual opening times.

Want to know when your local supermarket will be open over Easter? Find out here.

Most will be shut on one particular day this weekend, as government rules mean stores across England and Wales larger than 280 square metres are forced to close on Easter Sunday (March 31).
