Supermarket opening times: Christmas hours for Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Aldi and more
It's the time of year when a late trip to the supermarket is often needed.
Whether it's a last-ditch attempt to find that missing ingredient for Christmas dinner, or an extra box of sweets to keep you and your family happy while watching festive TV, it's a time when people are often nipping out and stocking up.
As ever the supermarkets have reduced opening hours over this period, with some stores closed on Sunday, December 26, as well as Christmas Day.
Here is a rundown of when supermarkets in Shropshire and parts of Mid Wales will be open over the festive season.
