What’s open and what’s closed on the Easter long weekend
Whether you’re heading on holiday or staying at home over Easter, it’s handy to know what’s open and what’s closed over the long weekend.
Many retailers across the country will be closing their doors across the upcoming four-day Easter long weekend, between Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 10, presenting potential challenges for last-minute shoppers who find themselves on the hunt for supplies.
With Passover also spanning April 5 to April 13 and Ramadan from March 22 to April 21, this time of year is often a busy period for many Aussies.
