Easter poster to help you enjoy some cracking sales!

Earlier this year and after lobbying from the Fed, the government confirmed it currently has no plans to change Sunday trading laws.

This means that once again this year, thousands of Fed members who own convenience stores and newsagents can beat the supermarket giants by opening their doors on Easter Sunday, which falls on April 5.

Under Sunday trading laws, all stores over 3,000sq ft in England and Wales must close on Easter Sunday, but smaller shops can stay open for their usual trading hours.

To help members advise their customers that they will be open as normal if they choose to, the Fed has produced a poster to display in retailers’ stores with their Easter weekend opening hours.

This poster is free and is available with the April 2026 edition of Your Fed or it can be downloaded here. The Fed’s National President Hetal Patel said: “It’s not often we can gain an advantage over the big boys, but Easter Sunday presents an ideal opportunity for members to take advantage of the trading laws. “By displaying the poster prominently in store, you can make customers aware you are open for business as usual for everything from newspapers and essentials to last-minute Easter gifts.”
