More than a dozen retailers with Watford stores are set to shut their doors on Easter Sunday.

Hard-working staff up and down the country are set to be given the day off to celebrate with their families, meaning people will have to get all of their shopping done in advance.

Larger supermarkets, measuring over 280 square metres, in England and Wales are legally required to close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day, meaning the town's biggest shops will be shut.

Several other retailers have chosen to give staff a day off, despite not being legally required to.

Some smaller branches may be open, albeit with reduced hours, so it is worth checking opening hours for specific shops if you need to do any shopping.

Most stores will be open on Good Friday and Easter Monday, although typically operating with Sunday trading hours.

The full list of brands with Watford stores that are confirmed to be closed on Easter Sunday is below:

  • Aldi

  • Greggs
