Find out when bank holidays are in England- including past and future ones - as the UK is weeks away from celebrating Good Friday and Easter Monday. How can workers make the most of their time off from work?
The UK has eight bank holidays in 2025: January 1 (New Year's Day), April 18 (Good Friday), April 21 (Easter Monday), May 5 (Early May Bank Holiday), May 26 (Spring Bank Holiday), August 25 (Summer Bank Holiday), December 25 (Christmas Day), and December 26 (Boxing Day). Most UK bank holidays fall on a Monday due to the 'substitute day' rule.
