Ahead of the Easter weekend, Aldi has shared an update on its Click & Collect slots in Dorset with customers.

The long weekend starts on Good Friday on April 7, and stores in England and Wales will be open until 10 pm on that day and on Easter Saturday.

Aldi says this is "to ensure all customers can pick up their last-minute Easter roast essentials".

Customers can order from a full range of groceries online at the Aldi website here and then collect them in pre-booked one-hour collection slots from their local store.

How will Aldi stores in Dorset be affected on the Easter weekend?

As with previous years, Aldi stores will be closed on Easter Sunday but will be open until 8 pm on Easter Monday.

In terms of the Click & Collect service, it will be closed on Easter Sunday and Monday.

Stores where Aldi’s Click & Collect is now available in Dorset include Weymouth and Gillingham Kingsmead Business Park.

Slots can be booked six days in advance and orders can be edited up until 11.50 pm the day before collection.

On arrival at dedicated Click & Collect points in the store car park, customers can have their shopping brought to their cars or choose to have their shopping put into their boot by an Aldi colleague so they can collect their shopping without leaving their car.
